Understanding the critical importance and potential failures of pitot/static instruments (airspeed, altimeter, VSI) is essential, as sensory input can be dangerously misleading in IMC. Pilots must ...
The pitot-static system is fundamental for basic flight information (airspeed, altitude, VSI) and its failure, even in highly automated aircraft, can lead to catastrophic accidents. A blocked pitot ...
UK investigators have found that a pitot-tube blockage generating unreliable airspeed data spurred an EasyJet Airbus A319 crew to abort take-off at high speed at London Luton. The A319 (G-EZBD) was ...
Wizz Air UK has revised its return-to-service processes after an Airbus A321, whose crew aborted take-off at high speed, was found to have a pitot probe blocked by insect activity. The aircraft ...
