Pitot Static System Errors - Day 7 SPC

[@John170B]

God bless your heart, can’t believe there is people like you putting out free information to keep me safe. Thank you

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you my friend!

[@Kalvin00]

+1. Thank you for the excellent content.

[@davidwallace5738]

The most outstanding explanation of the pitot static system I've ever seen. Thank you! God bless.

[@jasonty2307]

i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me

[@ahmedkyree4240]

@Jason Ty Instablaster :)

[@jasonty2307]

@Ahmed Kyree Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@jasonty2307]

@Ahmed Kyree It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

[@ahmedkyree4240]

@Jason Ty Happy to help :D

[@pilotrussell1755]

7 for 7! I love the idea of breaking the VS.

[@jamesodowd4063]

it finally clicked, only took literally 7 times watching the vid. THANKS SO MUCH JASON!!!!!!!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad we could help! Thanks for watching, James!

[@n0rg]

THANKS so much for your videos. I think this is the best so far in this series. The Pitot-Static system explanation is a great presentation

[@tk754]

First of all thank you very much for the SFC series. It's really nice to learn from your videos and refreshing our knowledge as well. I'am little bit confused about the last part wich simulates static blockage. Don't you think that ASI reading should still continue to show up (Over or underread) even static soruce is blocked ? According to CAE OXFORD ATPL BOOK: ----- Static Head. A static head is more exposed to icing conditions and is therefore more likely to become obstructed than is a static vent. A blocked static source during descent will mean that the ‘old’ (higher altitude) static pressure surrounding the capsule will be lower than it should be, so that if the pitot supply is normal the ASI will over-read. This could be dangerous in that the aircraft is nearer the stall than the ASI is indicating. Note that a climb with blocked static source and normal pitot air will result in the ASI under-reading. With a blocked static source, the ASI over-reads in a descent. ----- What I'am missing here ?

I forgot about a couple other items in my flight bag yesterday. Sick bags, Dramamine, and peppermint scented motion sickness cartridge just in case! Also, I have a "leatherman" and knife on my belt at all times. Definitely learned something today!

[@kurt3929]

7/7 and just placed my order for the book. Thank you

[@danielveliciu3445]

Thanks Jason! You bring so much value to the aviation community and I'm grateful for that 🙏

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for watching!

[@airbusman5514]

Thanks for the refresher. I have to teach this today and I needed a reminder of how everything works since I'm coming from an all-glass environment to a guy's pitot-static 172 for his IPC.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nicholashartzler2205]

This simulation does show it, but I have yet to see it expressed well enough. Airspeed doesn't "lower" as you climb with a blocked static port, It disappears! I, unknown to me, had a case of the pitot-static spiders. A spider had built a nest in my Cessna static port drain bulb and sealed it off 100%. By the time I was at about 80 feet AGL the airspeed had hit zero. You can probably imagine the few frantic attempts to add airspeed, looking up to see if you're pointing at the ground, checking airspeed to see it dropped more, and then pitching down a little more. That happened at least twice before I looked at my RPM at started to respond by flying pitch and power.

[@flygy481]

7/7 & confused. I was always taught that the ASI would still provide a reading with a static port blockage, although, somewhat erroneous depending upon what altitude the blockage occurred? Thank you!

[@nickhart5332]

Great stuff Jason and crew!

[@AcesDwn1]

I have to tell you.. About 3 days after I passed my check ride, I took the same C-150 I passed in, out for a flight with a lady friend back in about 1996. We went from the (now closed) Norfolk airport in MA, up to Keene NY. Then we flew back to Fitchburg MA to get fuel. After getting fuel, I did the runup again, checked all systems etc.. All seemed well, so I took off. At some point during climb out, the vacuum pump in the little C-150 started failing. I didn't know right off. I started changing headings via DG to head back to Norfolk, MA... What I didn't realize, was that I was actually heading to Boston MA.. (KBOS) Could have been a huge issue... Instead, I realized that (oh yeah, it was at night.. ) that the lights were not familiar.. Realized it was Boston, something was up with my instruments, and I did a quick 180° turn.. I know I was below the Boston airspace, but any further I may have busted it.. In any event, I lost DG, Artificial horizon and turn coordinator.. Thankfully, It was a super clear night, and I was able to find Rt9 in Framingham, then follow Rt495 S and let the roads lead me back to the base airport. That was my first "IFR- I Follow Roads" incident.. We landed safely, and the little C-150 was in the shop for about a month... I guess they found something else.. I feel lucky to have survived that, but also take credit in my training to realize something was wrong, and to revert to what I knew to get us back down safely. (I needed new underwear, however.. ) :-)

[@jimmyfall9302]

Best explanation I’ve heard yet. Thanks Jason.

[@abbieamavi]

link to the SIM is www.luizmonteiro.com/learning_vor_sim.aspx I just passed my instrument Checkride and being able to visualize the errors helped me a lot!! Thanks Jason!

[@JoseAlfonsoChavez]

Unfortunately because of the Adobe Flash end of life program all interactive content from Luiz page is not working. My browsers wont run the apps because flash is out of date and will not update because is no longer available. Was worth it while it lasted (And by lasted I mean while Flash was still avaiable).

[@aggibson74]

Is the simulator software available for download?

Thanks amigo for share your acknowledge God bless you to be humility. I’m ready to follow my dreams but I don’t know what academy select I’m worried for scammers, my greetings from Lima Peru 🇵🇪

[@seby_hrc5324]

I also knew that if you broke the variometer cover, you could allow to enter the cabin static pressure as you said to permit the others instrument to work, but also that after this only the variometer will give to you inverted indication.....LET ME KNOW IF WHAT I SAY IS CORRECT OR NOT, THANKS A LOT FOR TEH VIDEO, clear sky!

[@daviddevane3363]

Great refresher on the pitot static system, thanks!

[@karson8292]

Very Thorough!

[@johnlucarellivideos4534]

Won’t this be different on like a piper since the drain hole is with the static system?

[@jgmac58]

This is a nice series you are putting out there Jason. Question on this simulator, since you didn’t mention it or gave credits, source. Can you tell where to find it please? Thanks.

[@fdcap9835]

Thats a really neat simulator. Any chance on posting the link?

[@jt1515]

Curious- So now a days, most of us have an EFB of some sort on iPAD with a good acceleratometer/GPS altitute reference, do we still need to think about breaking the glass? Yes, we must remember to disconnect autopilot..

[@tommydimattia7946]

Is that simulator available for download or on a particular site?

Great visual

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Appreciate it, thanks for watching!

[@jasonallen2455]

This is one of the best, so far! I had trouble in the IFR training on this subject and this vid really taught me a bit more. This is a must vid, imho. Thank you so much and keep'em come'n!

[@idekav.]

ifr training? sir aren’t you supposed to know this by your private pilot written test?

[@aggibson74]

First!!!!!

[@migueldana9561]

Best ground school ever I passed my instrument first time I love MzeroA

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you my friend what a blessing

[@rrt2randyt6]

Static port blocked airspeed drops to 0? Why does other references online show airspeed indicator working at static port blockage altitude, (higher altitudes - airspeed indicates lower than it should. Lower altitudes - indicates higher then is should) Which is correct? Isn't there still static pressure trapped in system from altitude it clogged?

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hi Randy! To clarify, in this scenario the airspeed went down to 0 because the aircraft kept climbing with a blocked static port. When the static port is blocked, the airspeed indicator acts as a reverse altimeter. So as you climb, airspeed decreases. As you descend, airspeed increases. At the altitude where the blockage occurred, the airspeed will be accurate (assuming you kept the same power setting, etc). If you need any more clarification please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [e-mail]! Thanks for watching!

I suscribe dear friend hope can find information to be a good Pilot 👨‍✈️

[@isamhadweh]

Great teaching skills and explanations, thank you Jason.

[@adrianchapa6439]

Tanks you for this video

[@alexsantana4049]

This is a great tool to learn>

[@anastasiat.9275]

This was very informative! Thank you! Love this 31 day course!!❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@brileytaylor1837]

You are showing that when you block the static system and everything else remains clear that the ASI drops to 0. The PHAK explains that when this happens the ASI continues to operate but is inaccurate. I would love to hear what you have to say because I know that everyone doesn't always agree with the PHAK!

Great tip, something I once read on a manual when a student pilot, but almost forgot, now I wont

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad it was helpful!

[@germanthepilotr1070]

Great content mzeroA ground school helped me go from student pilot to Cfi

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@toddhokanson1230]

Can use your survival window hammer in your emergency kit to break the glass on the vertical speed indicator!

[@mikeperry2814]

Now there's a use for that glass breaker in the emergency kit!! Break the glass face of the VSI! LOL!

[@gsamelon]

you have helped me get to my checkride for PPL - next week I lay it all on the line! thanks for good clean content.

[@justanotherday1345]

Sweet! 7-4-7. Nice explanation of the system. thank you

[@DutchFlightTours]

Jason, you helped me so many times, first during PPL, now again during ATPL (yeah, I kinda wanted to refresh this). Your content is just awesome. Thank you so much.
