Default Pitot tube adjustment was Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path?

All it takes is a little collar on the pitot tube (and a bit of tweaking
the position)


That is how we calibrate the airspeed indicator to get it reading with
reasonable accuracy. Old CG himself taught me that one. :-)

Of course, nowadays, you have to tweak the GPS also!



Anybody have photos of such a collar? Or able to give a good description?
