Hi all
Related to a previous post, can somebody help a bit more with the an easier way to remember this SOD-PUD-SUC-PUC? Are these right?
If the Pitot is blocked: - While descending, ASI would under-read, as it cannot register a change in the total pressure. I.e. you are likely going faster (higher density of air), but the ASI reads slower.
- While climbing, the ASI would over-read, i.e. nose-up, but the pitot being blocked does not register a change, so while you are already IAS is steady, the speed may be slowing
If the static is blocked
- While climbing or descending, the Altimeter and VIS should not register any change EXCEPT that the static instruments (at least the Altimeter) might register a small change from the cabin pressure.
- I.e. the altimeter won't register any change, so if you are at 1000 ft, and then climbing it would under-read, and if you are descending from 1000 ft, it would over-read.
- The VSI might register a small change and then return to zero.
Are these correct? Many thanks for the advice.
