Course Description
This course covers the measurement of air data parameters, focusing on Bernoulli's Law and its practical applications in aviation. The pitot tube and venturi are discussed as examples of devices using Bernoulli's principle. The course then looks at possible errors in the static pitot system, including positional errors for both the aircraft and the static ports. Methods to reduce these errors are presented, such as the use of multiple pressure transmitting ports.
The course also covers the placement of pitot tubes and the effect of increasing angles of attack on their performance. Instrument errors due to manufacturing and calibration tolerances are mentioned. An additional focus is on large jet transport aircraft which have more complex pitot-static systems with separate sources for each instrument and an alternate static source valve.
