Pitot/Static System Test Guide

This document provides instructions for testing an aircraft's pitot-static system. The procedure allows for recertification of an Air Data Module while installed on the aircraft. It involves preparing the aircraft, connecting a test set to the pitot-static systems, setting switches and circuit breakers, and verifying pressures and warnings. The test is done to verify the pilot, copilot, and both pitot-static systems and meets regulatory requirements.

PITOT / STATIC SYSTEM — ADJUSTMENT / TEST


1. Air Data System — Functional / Leak Test
NOTE: This procedure allows for recertification of an Air Data Module (ADM) while installed on aircraft.
This procedure meets requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) 91.411 and 43
(Appendix E) for all Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) certified and non-RVSM
certified aircraft.
This procedure can be used for system recertification if performed by a certified repair station.
If ADM being installed has a valid certification sticker per FAR 91.411, only a reconnect check is
required. See Pitot / Static System - Reconnect Check, 34-13-00, Inspection / Check or Code
341030.
This procedure can be used to verify the following:
• Pilot pitot / static system
• Copilot pitot / static system
• Both pilot and copilot pitot / static system

B. Procedure
NOTE: The following procedures are provided to test pitot / static system:
• Pitot / Static System Lines - Leak Check: Step 1.B.(1)
• Air Data System - Altitude Hold / Alert Checks: Step 1.B.(2)
• Pitot / Static System - Accuracy Check: Step 1.B.(3)
(1) Pitot / Static System Lines - Leak Check
(a) On pitot / static test set, comply with the following:
1 Perform leak check on test set and plumbing breakout box. Record information.
NOTE: Ensure leak rates are within tolerance provided in operation manual.
Because Static Source Error Correction (SSEC) has not been engaged,
cockpit indications for altitude and airspeed will not be same as those at
test set. Accuracy of altitude and airspeed will be validated later in this
procedure. The purpose of this test is to determine leak rate and
nonexistence of cross-plumbing.
2 Adjust airspeed to 100 knots per minute.
3 Adjust airspeed to 300 knots and allow system to stabilize for 1 minute, then
monitor leak rate of pitot system for a minimum of 1 minute. Record information.

34-13-00
Page 504
February 15/15
MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4 Subtract test set leak rate recorded in Step 1.B.(1)(a)1 from leak rate in Step
1.B.(1)(a)3 to determine actual leak rate.
NOTE: If pitot system leak rate is more than 1 knot per minute, stop and correct
leak.
When leak corrected, comply with Step 1.B.(1)(a)1 thru Step 1.B.(1)(a)4
again.
5 Adjust airspeed to 100 knots.
6 Adjust altitude to test altitude determined in Step 1.A.(2)(f)3 at a rate of 5000 feet
per minute and allow system to stabilize for 1 minute, then monitor leak rate of
static system for a minimum of 1 minute. Record information.
7 Subtract test set leak rate recorded in Step 1.B.(1)(a)1 from leak rate in Step
1.B.(1)(a)6 to determine actual leak rate.
NOTE: If static system leak rate is more than 100 feet per minute, stop and
correct leak.
When leak corrected, comply with Step 1.B.(1)(a)5 thru Step 1.B.(1)(a)7
again.
8 Adjust altitude to 0 feet at 5000 feet per minute.

(2) Aircraft Preparation
NOTE: It is not necessary to disconnect Cabin Pressure Acquisition Module (CPAM) during
test.
(a) Prepare aircraft for safe ground maintenance. See Safe Ground Maintenance
Procedure, 20-00-00, Maintenance Practices.
(b) Open and secure radome. See Radome - Open / Close, 53-02-01, Maintenance
Practices.
(c) If required, remove birdstrike plates. See Birdstrike Plate - Removal / Installation,
53-02-01, Removal / Installation or Code 530205.
(d) Comply with the following on pitot / static system:
1 Ensure pitot / static system is free from the following:
• Entrapped moisture
• Restrictions
• Contamination
2 Ensure no alterations or deformations of pitot / static probes that would affect
relationship between static system and true ambient static air pressure for any
flight condition.
3 Ensure that all pitot / static lines are properly connected.
(e) Ensure the following Circuit Breakers (CBs) are pulled:

(3) In radome, select Static Source Error Correction (SSEC) DISABLE switch to disabled position
(up).
CAUTION: USING SNOOP OR LEAKTEK AROUND PITOT / STATIC PROBES MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE.
(4) Connect test set to standby pitot / static systems. See Figure 501.
NOTE: See manufacturer instructions on proper connection and checkout of test set.
(5) Determine test altitude using the following steps:
(a) Obtain local barometric field pressure in inches of mercury (inHg) from local airport
authority or certified barometer.
(b) Find obtained field pressure on chart and determine test altitude. See Figure 502.
(c) Record test altitude.
(6) On Cockpit Overhead Panel (COP) in ANTI ICE HTR section, verify switches are selected as
follows:
• PROBE - PRI switch OFF (extended)
• PROBE - STBY switch OFF (extended)
(7) On Standby Altitude / Airspeed Indicator (SAAI), set BARO knob to 29.92 InHg.
B. Procedure
(1) On test set, comply with the following:
(a) Adjust altitude rate knob to minimum position, then turn power switch ON.
(b) Adjust airspeed control so that master airspeed indicator reads 318 knots.
(2) In cockpit, verify SAAI reads 318 knots (±5).
(3) On test set, comply with the following:
(a) Adjust altitude rate knob so that master altimeter reads test altitude determined in Step
2.A.(5)(c).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: See Table 502 to obtain required airspeed for altitude being used.
(b) Adjust vertical speed control so that master altimeter climbs at a rate not exceeding
5000 feet per minute. Allow to stabilize.
(c) Perform pitot / static leak test per test set instructions and after 1 minute, verify the
following:
• Master altimeter has not decreased more than 112 feet
• Master airspeed indicator has not decreased more than 5 knots
(d) Using Table 502, adjust altitude and airspeed to test points as indicated and record
readings in appropriate column.
NOTE: Allow readings to stabilize for one minute before recording applicable
readings from SAAI.
Readings must fall within tolerances given in table.
(e) Adjust altitude control to 0 feet (ambient).
(f) Adjust vertical speed control so that master altimeter descends at a rate not exceeding
5000 feet per minute.
(g) Adjust airspeed control so that master airspeed indicator reads 0 knots.
(h) Select power switch OFF.
C. Follow On
(1) Remove electrical power from aircraft. See External Electrical Power Application, 20-20-10,
Maintenance Practices.
(2) Depress CBs pulled in Step 2.A.(2)(e).
(3) Disconnect all test equipment from aircraft.
(4) If any of the following conditions apply, comply with Pitot / Static System Probes / Lines -
Contamination Check, 34-13-00, Inspection / Check or Code 341300:
• Pitot / static probe heaters activated with pitot / static tester hoses connected
• In flight, standby altitude doesn’t agree within 220 feet of MADC No. 2 at 0.80 mach at
FL 450
(5) In radome, select SSEC switch to ENABLE position (down).
(6) Inspect for presence of foreign objects.
(7) Install birdstrike plates. See Birdstrike Plate - Removal / Installation, 53-02-01, Removal /
Installation or Code 530205.
(8) Inspect for presence of foreign objects.
(9) Close and secure radome. See Radome - Open / Close, 53-02-01, Maintenance Practices.
(10) Record all maintenance actions in accordance with current governing authority.
