Brief Description: CHECKING FOR LEAKS IN PITOT/STATIC
BOUGHT SOME SURGICAL TUBE FROM ACE AND TRIED THE TEST FROM A FAA CIRCULAR BY HOOKING UP TO THE PITOT LINE AND WATCHING THE AIRSPEED ON THE TAPE AS I WOUND UP THE SURGICAL TUBE, DIDN'T HOLD PRESSURE, WENT TO THE STATIC LINE AND THIS TIME I WOUND UP THE TUBE THEN RELEASED IT TO TRY TO GET THE ALTIMETOR TO RISE TO 100' ABOVE FIELD ELEVATION AND HOLD FOR 1 MIN, NO JOY HERE EITHER. OH WELL. WENT TO LES'S HANGER WHERE HE WAS GETTING HIS FINAL INSPECTION, IT PASSED AND HE WAS HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
