34-00-00 GENERAL
The aircraft has a pitot/static system to measure the total and static pressure. The pitot tube
is at the left wing leading edge. Two static ports measure the static pressure. They are
installed behind the canopy on the left and right side of the fuselage. The minimum
configuration of the aircraft also has an altimeter, an airspeed indicator and a magnetic
compass.

34-10-01 Pitot Static System
The pitot tube is attached to an access panel on the bottom of the left wing. The total
pressure goes into the front end of the tube. A flexible hose transmits the pressure through
the wing to the fuselage and to the instrument panels. The total pressure hoses are
identified with a red tape. If it is necessary to remove the wing, you can disconnect the
pressure hoses from the wing root.
The static pressure goes into two static ports (one on each side) of the rear fuselage. The
two ports are connected to one flexible hose that transmits the static pressure to the
instrument panels. The static pressure hoses are identified with a blue tape.
The flexible hoses are safely attached to the structure. You can drain the water from the
system at two T-fittings where these three static lines are connected:
 From the static port to the front instruments
 From the static port to the rear instruments
 Merged static port.
The T-fittings are at the lowest point of the system below the front seat. You can visually
examine the T-fittings. If necessary, you can disconnect one line and drain the water.
