A real life experience from a partially blocked pitot in a 737 classic. Takeoff to 80 kts normal then a big lag, then a constant error of about 20kts throught the whole flight. The lag dissapeared for landing but the error remained constant, the villian a well cooked and rather large bug stuck in the front of the pitot tube.
