DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, AIRSPEED SUDDENLY INDICATED 30 KTS HIGHER THAN WHAT WAS REAL. UPPER MODES OF THE AUTO PILOT WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND A "DECOUPLE" LIGHT CAME ON ON THE CAD. ALSO, UNTIL ADC NR 2 WAS TURNED OFF, THE HIGH NR MODE WOULD NOT WORK. THE NORMAL PROCEDURE IS TO SWITCH THE ADC TO NR 1 AND HAVE PROPER AIRSPEED INDICATION. AFTER DOING SO, ACFT WAS LANDED AT HELIPAD WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND HIGH NR RESTORED THEN MX WAS CONTACTED.
