7.9 Full and static pressure system
The full and static pressure probe (1) (see
) is located on the left wing strut. It supplies
the air pressure to the altimeter and the airspeed, vertical speed (if installed), angle of attack
(if installed) indicators (6).
This system supplies the full (dynamic) and static pressure of the outside air to the
instruments measuring the flight parameters: airspeed, rate of climb, altitude and angle of
attack. The system consists of the full and static pressure probe (1) and full (2, 3) and static
(4) pressure lines connecting the probe to the instruments. Full and static pressure lines
have joints (5) used to disconnect the lines when the left wing is removed during aircraft
disassembly.
The full (2) and static (3) pressure lines are connected to the airspeed indicator. The
altimeter and vertical speed indicator are connected to the static (3) pressure line. The full
(2) and (3) pressure lines are connected to the angle of attack indicator.
Good condition of the full and static pressure system is important for correct measurement
of the flight parameters and therefore for flight safety. Pilots must take all measures
necessary to keep the system in good condition. During the preflight check pilot must remove
the cover from the full and static pressure probe and inspect the probe and lines to make
sure that they are not damaged or blocked (by water, ice, dirt, etc.). After flight pilot must
put the cover back on the probe.
