An EuroAtlantic Airways Boeing 777-200, registration CS-TFM performing positioning flight YU-709 from Beja to Lisbon (Portugal) with 3 crew and more than 10 hours of fuel on board, was climbing out of Beja when the crew declared PAN PAN advising they had unreliable airspeed. The crew stopped the climb at 10,000 feet MSL, requested delay vectors to burn off fuel and descended towards Lisbon. ATC advised their radar was showing them at 3000 feet (the aircraft was cleared to 4000 feet), the crew reported they had 4000 feet indicated, ATC further reported their radar was showing 221 knots (over ground), the crew reported they were indicating 200 KIAS.
