I’ve flown a TB10 today and it had a cotter pin in the static port hole
I finally finished the 3d printed static port plug for Socata Trinidad, Tobago, and Tampico. Many thanks to pshz11 who came up with a very nice initial design, that only required tiny modifications. See the details and photos at Static Port Plug.
Enjoy!
P.S. The type club advises against cotter pins, because the metal is too hard and can damage the static port plastic tube.
Nice Job Lucius / pshz!
Has anyone managed to make or obtain any of these plugs?
I discovered one of my two to be missing today. Very strange since the plane normally lives in a hangar…
I bought both static plugs from Daher-Socata through Troyes Aviation. You wouldn’t want to know the price!
200 quid each?
I will machine some up from a nylon rod, in a lathe.
Hello Howard,
The P/N is TB1097003002 and the price for both plugs is 200 € excluding VAT (20% in France) and shipping costs. It comes with EASA Form 1!

What would you need a from 1 for ????
Next is a form one for the cowling/cockpit cover?
Given that, amongst other alternatives, even some nylon rack board holder from IKEA work perfectly, it screams scam to me….
Thanks @ESN. That is indeed a crazy price. I don’t have any static port plugs for my TB20…and I won’t be buying any from Socata!
