I need you opinion on which static ports to use on the DG. The
friendly folks at Glaser-Dirks provided me with two pairs of static ports on my DG. One pair is near my toes, the second pair near my knees. The only difference is that the aft pair are on a surface that is almost parallel to the line of the ship. The foreward pair are on a surface that about +10-15 degrees away from parallel. So which to use? It would seem to me that the forward pair, by virtue of the fact that they are not on a parallel surface, might receive some positive pressure. I assume that positive pressure would be bad for a static port. I should rig something up so that I can flip between the two while in flight to see if there is any difference in instrument performance. This makes the rash assumption that I would recognise the difference if I saw it. BTW: I am using the forward pair. On a related question, why do static ports come in pairs? I assume it has something to do with eliminating errors caused during slipping in which the ports "see" different static pressures. Thanks, John |
