Is this in a motor glider?
If it is and the motor was run with the Tail Pitot in use rather than the
alternate Pitot (some gliders will have front and rear Pitot and static
inputs if they come with motors today) you may have damaged the ASI from the
high pressure .......just a *thought

I don't see how the pressure at a tail mounted pitot in a motorglider
will ever be enough to damage an ASI. Not compared the pressure from
airspeed they'll experience from normal flight at different speeds.
And the main ASI would normally be permanently plumbed to the nose
pitot and the ships main static (not a TE or triple probe).
