As part of my annual permit renewal, my new UK PFA inspector has asked me to
carry
out a check of the pitot static system and instruments. I have located somewhere
to get the ASI and altimeter checked and calibrated as separate instruments,
but what is the best way to check out the plumbing of the pitot static system?
Also, do other people test their pitot static instruments 'in situ', by
adding pressure/vacuum directly to the pitot head? This would appear to test
the whole system - but how would you know whether any errors lay in the
instruments
or in the plumbing.
Any ideas on how to deal with this would be most welcome.
