In the subsequent descent with static pressure increasing and the pitots still blocked?, even though the airplane was actually stalled (complete with stick-shaker) the indicated airspeed would be increasing alarmingly - courtesy of increasing static pressure. --TheShadow Post 590
Wouldn't it be the opposite, trapped pitot pressure against decreasing static pressure showing IAS increasing as they climbed, and decreasing as they descended?
