Pitot/static leak issues when using a "squat switch"

So you’re the RAS police Darryl?

No, but when people keep posting confused/wrong stuff here, especially where it has the ability to affect safety, I will keep correcting them. Sadly I did not see your update before you posted, or I would not have said anything. Since you are an A&P IA I expect people in this community to believe you will get stuff right. And unfortunately amongst the useful stuff you post there are some posts from you about UAT Out use in towplanes (with no warnings about compatibility issues), this stuff, etc. many of which would be answered or clarified to you if you searched this forum for past threads. Other discussion on the pitot switches were posted in another r.a.s. thread just days, including where I quoted Trig on the updated GPS firmware not being intended for gliders with possible low/negative ground speed.

So if you followed what I said you would see I was asking a question. I am not overly familiar with the Trig product line. But I am liking what I am seeing.

I disagree with your statement about the Garmin products. But it’s a moot point since it’s not an appropriate product for gliders.

What I don’t like is when someone asks a question you loudly proclaim, “We’ve talked about this before!� Well if you want to say anything at all why don’t you calmly point out the pertinent conversation? Our how the original poster asked about pitot/static leaks when you install a squat switch. You could have pointed out that a pitot/static check with a calibrated tester is required when installing it.

Happy Thanksgiving by the way! I am off to stuff my face.
