Figure 76: Static pressure system tube
1. The syringe is attached to the pressure system.
2. One person slowly draws the syringe until under-pressure results in the
system. At the same time, the second person watches the airspeed indicator.
The syringe is drawn until a speed of between 60 and 180 km/h appears on
the indicator. The syringe must be drawn very carefully to ensure that the
airspeed indicator is not over-wound and irreparably damaged.
3. For further action: cf. "Pitot pressure system".
