Right, you don't have a clue how a transport is instrumented for air
data,
Dan.

A pitot tube provids both static and pitot ports, but the pitot tube is
unreliable, so 40 years ago most transports switched to static ports
and
pitot ports.

So Dan, what did you do in the Air force? I hope it was some job where
you
might have at least some knowledge of avionics; otherwise, you mostly
speak
out of turn.

No such thing as a pitot port, never has been.

Poor Dan, off into denial.

A pitot tube only provides pitot
pressure. A pitot-static tube provides both.

My goodness, Dan, you really are clueless.

Say again what you did in the air force, Dan.

Compare the two systems for us, John.
Tell us about the pitot tube on say, a 757
and the pitot-static tube on a 767.
You *do* know that they are completely
different type systems???
Why do I get the feeling that you don't!
In my 27 years at UAL, I replaced dozens
and leak tested hundreds of both types.
Then tell us which type is used on the 727?
How about the 737? (and don't forget those
ELF tubes up on the vert. stab.)
I've tried to explain all of this to you in the
Tarver Chronicles.

What the hell is a screened over static port on a 727?
