connections for airdata testing is more than a convenience. One damaged

accessories. On the left is a static spider that grips the aircraft using
suction cups and a vacuum pump. On the right is a sample of a complex Pitot-Static
Mast fitting, where both ports are provided and internal seals are part
of the aircraft specific design. |
