Hi all,
I've unfortunately clipped an errant traffic cone with my pitot/static probe whilst
taxiing; discovered after takeoff with no functioning altimeter/asi/vsi.
The static probe appears to have a broken stub of plastic tube in the end, but
I don't know what has broken off. Does anyone have a picture of the standard
XS probe? I expect full functionality will resume if I block the end and drill
the side of the static tube to create a vent, albeit with recalibration of ias/tas.

HI Rick
Did mine while washing the underside of the wing. Plugged the end and
drilled a small hole straight through the tube, ie one hole each side.
Been working fine for 10 years with no difference in ias.
Regards
Pete
PS this solution has the advantage you can't knock the end off again.

That's the kind of fix I like!
What size hole did you drill Pete?

Hi Rick
It was a long time ago but I think it was about 1/16th. Not up the
strip for a few days now so can't measure it till Friday. Maximum size
is rather determined by the diameter of the pipe.
The "plug" was the end of a small paint brush araldited in place.
Regards
Pete

That's perfect Jerry, I can 3D print that in 10 mins.
I would buy from Europa are they appear to be closed at the moment.
