In instrument meteorological conditions during straight-and-level cruise flight, the attitude indicator displays the pitch attitude appropriate for the desired cruise airspeed, and the altimeter is holding steady. However, the airspeed indicator shows a gradual decrease. What is the proper instrument cross-check technique?
