13.4 System Description
13.4.1 Pitot/ AOA
Pitot pressure is transmitted through the pitot inlet of the pitot/AOA probe to the Air
Data Computers located inside the forward pressure bulkhead. The Air Data
Computers interpret the data provided, along with error corrections to present
airspeed for display on the PFDs as well as total pressure for use by the FADEC and
ACS.
Angle-of-attack is sensed by differential pressure transducers contained in the base
of each pitot/AOA probe and transmitted to the Air Data Computer, where the data is
processed and provided to the PFD, ACS, and FADECS.
