Asi and Vsi and altimeter on X Air Hanuman
|
Excuse my ignorance, but all VSI have a static port, subsequently having a line/hose going from the indicator to somewhere inside or outside the cabin of the plane?
I can't find where my static port is - my pitot tube only has one hose and one port so I am guessing my plane does have a static port that is affixed to outside the aircraft? |
开云体育This sounds correct, you can actually leave the static port open behind the instrument panel because it is not going to make that much difference the speed you will be flying especially with the amount of leakage into the cockpit area. You will find it might read a little bit high in cruise but will be very accurate closer to landing speeds.Normally we just fit a piece of plastic tubing, heat and then crimp the end of the tubing with pliers so it is sealed and then heat a piece of lock wire and put it through the plastic tubing so there is just a small hole for the air pressure to go through rather than somewhere large for some insect to make a home. You can if you wish, run a tube out into the wings to get slightly better accuracy but the difference is only going to be 1 or 2 kn maximum at cruise speed so it is hardly worth the effort Justin Gregoris wrote on 30/03/2022

开云体育You should find the static port on the instrument has ?just not been ?connected, and the static port vents into the cockpit area. Just do not breathe too heavily! (Sorry, not one of my better jokes). Mo. On 30 Mar 2022, at 00:47, Justin Gregoris <jgregoris789@...> wrote:
