4-14 FlightDEK-D180 Installation Guide
The AOA, pitot, and static ports on the back of the
FlightDEK-D180 are equipped with 1/8” NPT
Female fittings. To attach your pitot and static lines
to the back of the FlightDEK-D180, you must use
standard 1/8” NPT Male fittings at the end of each
of the lines.
The FlightDEK-D180’s attitude
calculation requires either airspeed
(from pitot and static) or GPS data.
To ensure proper operation, at least
one of these data sources must be
available. We recommend the
FlightDEK-D180 be connected to
pitot and static systems in all
installations.
To install, simply connect your static and pitot
sources to the FlightDEK-D180, T’ing off of
existing lines if performing a retrofit. View the
following back view diagram the placement of your
pressure lines.
Use a wrench to secure the mating pressure line fittings to the corresponding locations on the
back of the FlightDEK-D180. Do not over-tighten.
If you purchased Dynon’s AOA pitot tube, note that it has pitot and AOA ports on it, but not
static. You will need to provide your own source of static pressure for the FlightDEK-D180 and
any other instrument in your panel which requires it.
