Two different things being discussed. Where was FAA mentioned? Not really applicable anyway since the paperwork has to come from an FAA 145 company.

If you look at table 1 here: http://www.faa-aircraft-certification.com/43-appendix-e.html, you see that you need to read aircraft altitude to a much tighter limit than the 50 foot display resolution the test set can generate. It’s name gives it away – PSLT – pitot-static leak tester.

Where its coming from (easa rules) ?

I can’t see limit in manual:

The PSLT (Figure 2) is a robust, battery-powered, portable instrument with state-of-the-art microprocessor control, offering the following features:
A. Leak testing of aircraft pitot and static systems.
B. Functional checking of aircraft airspeed and altitude switches.

As far as I know this unit is used by some small companies in Germany for annual transponder/pitot/static testing.
This unit provide more features/accurancy then analog Barfield tester with old steam gauges.

You do realise this unit is only approved for leak-testing and not for performing pitot-static system calibration checks such as FAR 91.411?

Hi. I’m looking for one more item regarding this.
I haven’t previous calibration certificate of annual calibration and labolatory is asking about any template.
Can anyone share it ? Or maybe you know good lab’s in Germany or EU can do this..
