What is a Pitot-Static Inspection & Certification?
A pitot-static inspection verifies the accuracy of your aircraft’s airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed indicators. This FAA-required certification ensures that your pitot-static system, altimeter, encoder, and transponder output accurate information to both the pilot and Air Traffic Control (ATC), which is essential for safe flight, especially under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Certification is required every 24 months for IFR-certified aircraft.
What Does Pitot-Static Inspection & Certification Involve?
Our experienced technicians will conduct a series of precision tests on your aircraft’s pitot-static system using FAA-approved equipment. We ensure all components are functioning properly and that the system meets all FAA Part 91.411 and 91.413 requirements.
- Altimeter Testing & Certification – Precise testing of the aircraft’s altimeter for accuracy at multiple altitude levels to ensure compliance with FAA Part 91.411.
- Static System Leak Check – A complete leak check of the static system to ensure no loss of accuracy in altitude readings.
- Encoder Correlation – Verify the transponder altitude reporting output matches the aircraft’s altimeter, ensuring accurate altitude reporting to ATC.
- IFR Certification – Provide all necessary FAA documentation and certification for IFR operations for the next 24 months.
