7.9 Full and static pressure system
This system supplies the full (dynamic) and static pressure of the outside air to the
instruments measuring the flight parameters: airspeed, rate of climb and altitude. The
system consists of the full and static pressure probe (1) and full (2) and static (3) pressure
lines connecting the probe to the instruments (see
Fig. 14
). Full and static pressure lines
have joints (4) used to disconnect the lines when the left wing is removed during aircraft
disassembly.
The full and static pressure lines are connected to airspeed indicator(s), altimeter and
vertical speed 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 measures to keep the
system in good condition: protect the full and static pressure probe with a cover (marked with
a red "Remove before flight" flag) and inspect the probe and lines during the preflight check
to make sure that they are not damaged or blocked (by water, ice, dirt, etc.). The probe must
be covered again after the flight.
