Pitot/ Static Systems
PITOT / STATIC SYSTEMS Aim: To understand the principles of operation behind a pitot / static system, considering the possible errors and limitations involved. Application: - Used when relying on the pressure instruments. - ASI, ALT and VSI. Revision: Static Pressure - pressure due to weight of air molecules pushing down. Reduces with increased altitude.
Dynamic Pressure - pressure due to relative movement. Depends on density and velocity. - PD = Total Pressure - PT =
Definitions:
Static Vent - measures PS and usually flush-mounted on fuselage side.
