1.3.4.4 PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS
The following steps should be used to aid in the fabrication of pneumatic hose
connections and in attaching the aircraft pitot pressure source and aircraft static
pressure sources to the G5.
NOTE: Whenever the aircraft is connected to a pitot-static tester, such as during
Part 43 Appendix E altimeter tests, the pitot port must be covered by a pitot
adapter that is controlled by the pitot-static tester. Failure to do so will result in
overpressuring and damaging the internal airspeed sensor.
NOTE: Use of different colored tubing is recommended for static and pitot
plumbing to avoid plumbing connection errors. Incorrect plumbing connections
will result in erroneous air data information calculated by the G5.
Observe the following cautions when connecting pneumatic lines:
1) Make sure the aircraft static pressure port is plumbed directly to the unit
static pressure input port and the aircraft pitot pressure port is plumbed
directly to the unit pitot pressure input port.
2) Seal the threads of pneumatic fittings at the connector ports. Use caution
to ensure there are no pneumatic leaks.
3) Use care to avoid getting fluids or particles anywhere within the pneumatic
lines connected to the G5.
