The sole reason for using a static port is so the guts can be removed from
the pitot tube, in order to improve reliability. A pitot port produces no
static pressure datum.


Just as an example, when the aircraft is sitting still on the ground -
airspeed = 0. Since the pitot and static ports are in the same state,
doesn't that imply that static pressure is present at the pitot port?
