Pitot-Static Trainer

Master the pitot-static system before you fly!

This interactive trainer teaches student pilots how airspeed indicators, altimeters, and vertical speed indicators actually work—and exactly what happens when they fail.

INTERACTIVE SIMULATOR • Analog Cockpit – Classic round "steam gauge" instruments • Glass Cockpit – G1000-style Primary Flight Display • Real-time response to altitude, airspeed, and vertical speed changes

FAILURE SCENARIOS • Blocked pitot tube (with and without drain hole) • Blocked static port • Icing conditions with pitot heat control • Alternate static source • Combined failures—see why some are so dangerous

7 LESSONS + QUIZZES • Atmosphere & Air Data basics • How each instrument works • Failure recognition and recovery • Test yourself after each lesson

PERFECT FOR • Pre-solo student pilots • Instrument rating candidates • CFIs teaching pitot-static systems • FAA written exam prep
