"Stan Gosnell" wrote in message ... "Wyatt Emmerich" wrote in news The altimeter readings were all correct on the flight. The transponder reported accurately and center never had a problem with my altitude. So it seems to me, the static system must be correct. A loose connection in the ram air system could give erroneous airspeed readings while giving correct altimeter readings, as could a partial obstruction. I've seen water in the pitot system give this error also, which is really a partial obstruction. Just a comment: We were required to do a leak test after opening a pitot or static line for whatever reason. Eventually water drain fittings were removed from this required list but that seemed to me at the time to be a mistake since those o-rings were especially prone to rotting out. O-ring quality improvement seemed to solve that. JK (expecting a mud wasp comment from tarver) |
