I could hardly tell any difference with cockpit static, although there was a
couple
of knots difference seen instantly as the cabin ventilators were
plugged.However,
if the rear of a door becomes unlatched (or I guess some other similar
major fuselage leak), the pressure instruments become highly variable,
misleading
and unusable. For that reason alone I reinstated the wing mounted static.

Subj: Re: Europa-List: Re: Alternate static port & Switch
In the early days I fitted a switched static line with the alternate being
behind
the panel and I found the readings to be substantially different to the standard
static port and I eventually removed it all.
Unfortunately, being 20 odd years ago it is to long ago for me to remember
exactly
what the differences were in actual numbers.

I discussed this recently with the LAA and they didn't see and issue with
leaving
them unconnected in non-pressurised aircraft.
