Robert is being rediculess to claim that a pitot tube produces some total
pressure and then the static port pressure is subtracted twice to make IAS.
The whole point of using a static port is to be able to take the guts out of
a pitot tube and produce only pitot pressure, thus increasing the
reliability of the system.

Perhaps this will help:

Yes that does help, because what Robert said and what Gord said are
practically identical.


Oh! And you didn't enlighten me about the Bombardier GBX?

The IAS indicator says IAS, not ASI.

Why do you come here pretending to know something
