Aircraft Static Port Covers
An essential component of every aircraft, static ports are used to measure static air pressure, sometimes called barometric pressure. Without clean static ports, pilots may not receive accurate measurements of altitude and airspeed, which could lead to disaster.
Static port covers help protect your aircraft’s static system from bugs, debris, dirt, or damage during routine ground maintenance or when parked in the hangar. Lightweight and adjustable, static port covers are easy to install on virtually any aircraft.
PJi offers a wide range of aircraft static port covers in both 1-cover and 2-cover configurations. If you need assistance in finding the right static port cover for your aircraft, call or chat with one of our friendly and knowledgeable aviation specialists today!
What materials are static port covers typically made of?
While static port covers for aircraft are usually constructed of durable materials for maximum protection and longevity, some lower-quality covers are made of more fragile materials that essentially stick onto the aircraft and cover the static port and nothing more.
A popular choice among PJi customers, Sesame Technologies, Inc.’s static port covers are made from malleable, light-gauge anodized aluminum that easily conforms to virtually any surface. The heavy-duty lever suction cups are designed to withstand up to 40 lbs. of removal force.
Are static port covers universal or specific to certain aircraft models?
While some static port covers – like Sesame Technologies’ SPC-101 model – are universal and capable of fitting a wide range of aircraft, others – such as the SPC-102SP-H60 and the SPC-101SPF – are designed specifically for certain aircraft models.
