Chapter 10: Aircraft Systems › Pitot-Static Systems › Pitot Tubes & Static Vents
Pitot-Static Systems Some of the most important flight instruments derive their indications from measuring air pressure. Gathering and distributing various air 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-free tubing connecting these air pressure pick up points to the instruments that require the air for their…

Chapter 18: Emergency Procedures › System Malfunctions › Pitot-Static System
Pitot-Static System The source of the pressure for operating the airspeed indicator, the vertical speed indicator (VSI), and the altimeter is the pitot-static system. The major components of the pitot-static system are the impact pressure chamber ... lines and the static pressure chamber and lines, each of which are subject to total or partial blockage by ice, dirt, and/or other foreign matter. Blockage of the pitot-static system adversely affects instrument operation. [Figure 18-10] Partial static…

highest volume when the aircraft was directly over the broadcast area. From this beginning, numerous refinements to radio navigational aids developed. Radio navigation aids supply the pilot with intelligence that maintains or enhances the safety of flight. As with communication ... radios, navigational aids are avionics devices, the repair of which must be carried out by trained technicians at certified repair stations. However, installation, maintenance and proper functioning of the electronic units, as well as their antennas, displays, and any other…
