## Discrepancy

AIRSPEED INDICATOR FAILED IN FLIGHT (BOTH G500 AND BACKUP INDICATOR). UPON LANDING AT BASE MECHANIC FOUND MUD DOBBER IN PITOT TUBE, BUG/DEBRIS WAS REMOVED AND SYSTEM FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. THIS MALFUNCTION WAS IDENIFIED ON THE RETURN LEG WITH NO PATIENT ON BOARD. THIS REPORTED MALFUNCTION WAS IDENTIFIED ENROUTE BUT SECTION 2D OF THIS FORM DOES NOT PROVIDE THIS OPTION, SO "DESCENT" WAS SELECTED.
