7.5.13 PITOT STATIC SYSTEM

The pitot system senses dynamic pressure through a
tube that is aligned with the flow of air, and which is
located under the left wing (Figure 7-11). The pitot tube
is heated. Avoid prolonged operations on the ground as
it can get very hot. Do not touch the pitot tube if the heat
is on. Operation of the pitot heat may cause the
magnetic compass to have deviations greater than 10°.
The static pressure orifices are located on both sides of
the fuselage, just behind the engine (Figure 7-11). There
are two orifices to counteract the effects of yaw.
