X-Air Ultralight Aircraft Indicated airspeed problem

 

开云体育

I have never heard such rubbish. The airspeed indicator is reading 106 knots and you are only doing 85 kn. This tells me that they expect you to have the cheapest non-calibrated airspeed indicator known to man or the installation is completely wrong. The easy way is to go to an avionics technician and get a pitot and static test done to the aircraft. This will give them a certified document which they must accept

I have a problem with my 912 X-air F. The BMAA have kicked back my permit renewal as they say I ran the VNE test at 85kt IAS and they say I should have run it at 106 kt IAS and must repeat it.?


The reason is my POH has a calibration chart which says 85kt IAS = 85 CAS. They say this is wrong and for my aircraft the calibration card should red 85kt CAS = 106 kt IAS.?


After 4 years of flying it and comparing to GPS ground speed I thought my IAS was very accurate. The ASI is the B?uniger glass cockpict LCD display which was recently serviced and calibrated by Br?uniger themselves.


?What doe other peoples Calibration charts read , especially if there is anyone else with the Br?uniger LCD flat screen instruments.

Thanks for the info. Having the Pitot / ASI calibrated on the ground sounds much safer than flying at 106 knots and finding out the BMAA were wrong and my POH was right. I will make some enquiries along those lines.

In worst case scenario my plan was to keep an eye on my gps ground speed and allowing for wind, never let it go above 95kts.
