Yes, those static ports are pretty unreliable! :-)


Pitot tubes are unreliable in comparason to a static port/pitot port
combination.

Do you have trouble reading, Whiting?



No, you have trouble writing things that make sense. What is unreliable
about a pitot tube? The heater is likely the least reliable part.
Which airplane(s) have pitot ports? I don't think I've seen one. What
makes them more reliable?

Matt, all aircraft have pitot ports. Look on the back of an IAS indicator. You
will see one pitot port and one static port. As for pitot ports external to the
aircraft tarver has never, never will and can never provide proof. Use whatever
search engines you will and you can verify this for yourself.
