Dear subscribers,

In order to fly IFR I know that you need to get your altimeter checked every two years.

The question that I have is for the rest of the static system. Is this covered under the annual inspection or do you have to get the whole static system checked in the airplane from a certified avionic shop?

So far I always checked my system by blowing/sucking the pitot and sealing it with my tounge with a friend watching the instruments for any change.

Thanks for your input

Ralf
