PITOT STATIC SYSTEM
GENERAL
The pitot-static system supplies the source pressure for the No. 1 and No. 2 Air Data Computers, an
Electronic Standby Instrument System Air Data Unit, the Stall Warning and Identification System, and the
Airplane Cabin Differential Pressure Indicator.
Provisions are made available for the connection of additional equipment.
The pitot-static system pressure lines and components are shown in a block diagram on Figure 1.
PITOT HEADS
Two pitot heads are mounted, one on each side of the fuselage nose and provide independent supplies
of pitot pressure to the following:
Left Pitot Head (P1)
Air Data Computer No. 1
Right Pitot Head (P2)
Air Data Computer No. 2
Standby Airspeed Indicator
Stall Detectors
Additional equipment connections.
STATIC VENT PLATES
A static vent plate is mounted on each side of the forward fuselage. Each static plate provides two static
ports (static ports 5 & 6, reference Figure 1). These sources provide static pressure to the following:
Static 5 (S5)
Air Data Computer No. 1
Static 6 (S6)
Air Data Computer No. 2
Stall Detectors
STATIC VENTS
Static vents are provided on each side of the aft fuselage (static vents 8 & 9, reference Figure 1). These
static vents are respectively connected and provide static pressure to the following:
Static 8 (S8)
Electronic Standby Instrument System (ESIS) Air Data Unit
Static 9 (S9)
Cabin Differential Pressure Indicator
Additional Equipment Connections
