The correct answer is static pressure. In an A/S (airspeed) indicator, the sensing elements are surrounded by static pressure. Static pressure is the atmospheric pressure exerted on the aircraft when it is not in motion. It is used to measure the aircraft's airspeed. Pitot pressure, on the other hand, is the pressure exerted by the forward motion of the aircraft and is used in combination with static pressure to calculate airspeed. Engine pressure and methyl chloride gas are not relevant to the functioning of an A/S indicator.

During a dive, the static pressure inside the diaphragm of the vertical velocity indicator is greater than on the outside. This is because as the aircraft dives, it moves faster and the air pressure increases, causing the static pressure inside the diaphragm to be higher. This change in pressure is detected by the instrument and displayed as a vertical velocity indication.

To make an A/S (Airspeed) indicator display true A/S, the errors that need to be corrected are altitude and temperature. Altitude affects air density, which in turn affects the airspeed reading on the indicator. As altitude increases, the air density decreases, causing the airspeed reading to be lower than the true airspeed. Similarly, temperature affects air density as well. As temperature increases, the air density decreases, resulting in a lower airspeed reading. Therefore, correcting the errors in altitude and temperature would ensure that the A/S indicator displays the true airspeed.
