Describe the upper limit of the white arc (VFE). Describe VNE What is the indication on the ASI if both the pitot tube opening and the drain hole should become clogged simultaneously?
AirSpeed Indicator (ASI) Multiple types of airspeeds. Indicated airspeed (IAS)—the direct instrument reading obtained from the ASI Calibrated airspeed (CAS)—IAS corrected for installation error and instrument error.
AirSpeed Indicator (ASI) True airspeed (TAS)—Because air density decreases with an increase in altitude, an aircraft has to be flown faster at higher altitudes to cause the same pressure difference between pitot impact pressure and static pressure. TAS increases as altitude increases.
AirSpeed Indicator (ASI) Groundspeed (GS)—the actual speed of the airplane over the ground. It is TAS adjusted for wind. GS decreases with a headwind, and increases with a tailwind.

Describe the upper limit of the white arc (VFE). Describe VNE What is the indication on the ASI if both the pitot tube opening and the drain hole should become clogged simultaneously?
AirSpeed Indicator Markings Standard color-coded markings: White arc — commonly referred to as the flap operating range since its lower limit represents the full flap stall speed and its upper limit provides the maximum flap speed. Approaches and landings are usually flown at speeds within the white arc.

Describe the upper limit of the white arc (VFE). Describe VNE What is the indication on the ASI if both the pitot tube opening and the drain hole should become clogged simultaneously?
AirSpeed Indicator Markings Lower limit of white arc (VS0)—the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration. Maximum landing weight in the landing configuration (gear and flaps down). Upper limit of the white arc (VFE)—the maximum speed with the flaps extended.

Describe the upper limit of the white arc (VFE). Describe VNE What is the indication on the ASI if both the pitot tube opening and the drain hole should become clogged simultaneously?
AirSpeed Indicator Markings Red line (VNE)—never exceed speed. Operating above this speed is prohibited since it may result in damage or structural failure.

Describe the upper limit of the white arc (VFE). Describe VNE What is the indication on the ASI if both the pitot tube opening and the drain hole should become clogged simultaneously?
Blockage of the Pitot-Static System If both the pitot tube opening and the drain hole should become clogged simultaneously, no change is noted on the airspeed indication should the airspeed increase or decrease.
