: Well the only tiny grain of truth in that statement is that a static port can be occluded by a foreign object. On the ground this can be something like an insect setting up housekeeping in it, in flight ice is probably the biggest risk factor. Since loss of the static port will bugger up 3 basic flight instruments (altimeter, ASI and VSI) this is non-trivial. Or masking tape left in place after maintenance. At least one airliner has crashed because of this. Many fatalities. -- Regards, Stan |
