(Rick Moss) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 05:48:08 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Has anybody got a picture of the pitot/static probe? From: "Rick Moss" 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.

From: Pete Lawless 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.

From: Pete Lawless 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.
