(Jim Langley) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:34:51 PM PST US From: "Jim Langley" Subject: Lightning-List: How do you verify your Pitot/Static setup? I have flown my Lightning several times and do not have the highest degree of faith in my ASIs. I have a small steam gauge ASI and my EFIS. My EFIS is fully adjustable across the speed range to make up for a pitot/static setup that is not perfect. I tee off of each line to go to each instrument. My question to you all is that once you have you instruments setup, how do you verify them? Am I missing anything? Jim! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:19:59 PM PST US From: N1BZRich@AOL.COM Subject: Re: Lightning-List: How do you verify your Pitot/Static setup?

Jim, I generally use two ways. Close formation with an airplane that I know is accurate - like the Grand Rapids EFIS system in my Esqual, or fly ing wind triangle checks using a GPS.
