Unpleasant surprise on my .411 .413 check.

Person doing the check would not certify the inspection. He said that
the
VSI is not connected to the pitot static system.


Interesting point. Although the VSI should be connected to the static
system, it is not required by 91.411 or FAR Appendix E. In other words,
he
could have certified the system and you could have had an A&P investigate
why the VSI wasn't hooked to the static system afterwards.

But if the VSI is not connected to the static system, what has happed
to the point where it was connected? Is the static line simply venting
to the area behind the panel? Won't this affect all the other static-based
instruments?

... unless someone took the time to plug the hole in the static line...


The VSI will operate even though it is not connected the the official
static
system. However, it should be fixed.
