produces a continuous zero indication. [Figure 8-11] Some aircraft are equipped with an alternate static source in the flight deck. In the case of a blocked static source, opening the alternate static source introduces static pressure from the flight ... deck into the system. Flight deck static pressure is lower than outside static pressure. Check the aircraft AOM/POH for airspeed corrections when utilizing alternate static pressure. Figure 8-11. Blocked static system.

As automated flight decks began entering everyday line operations, instructors and check airmen grew concerned about some of the unanticipated side ... effects. Despite the promise of reducing human mistakes, the flight managers reported the automation actually created much larger errors at times. In the terminal environment, the workload in an automated flight deck actually seemed higher than in the older analog…
