  Pitot-Static Systems Some of the most important flight instruments derive their indications from measuring air pressure. Gathering and distributing various ... pressures for flight instrumentation is the function of the pitot-static system. Pitot Tubes & Static Vents On simple aircraft, this may consist of a pitot-static system head or pitot tube with impact and static air pressure ports and leak…

  technicians may perform this test. The method of leak testing depends on the type of aircraft, its pitot-static system, and the testing equipment available. [Figure 10-138] Essentially, a testing device is connected into the static system ... leak exists, a systematic check of portions of the system is conducted until the leak is isolated. Most leaks occur at fittings. The pitot portion of the pitot-static system is checked in a similar fashion. Follow the manufacturer…

  Pitot-Static Pressure-Sensing Flight Instruments The basic flight instruments are directly connected to the pitot-static system on many aircraft. Analog flight instruments primarily use mechanical means to measure and indicate various flight parameters. Digital flight instrument ... systems use electricity and electronics to do the same. Discussion of the basic pitot-static flight instruments begins with analog instruments to which further information about modern digital instrumentation is added. Altimeters & Altitude An altimeter is an instrument that…
