Question 36

Please describe the Pitot-Static system and its malfunctions

Answer 36

The system received ram pressure and static pressure then send to Pitot-Static instrument. These instrument convert pressure and send to 3 indicators. Airspeed indicator measuring differential pressure between dynamic pressure from Pitot tube and Static pressure from Static port. For Altimeter and Vertical speed indicator use only static pressure to measure changed pressure varies by altitude in Aneroid wafers and Diaphragm respectively
