Key Features
Three Outputs: In addition to the primary static and pitot outputs, a third output is provided. This output can be used as a secondary static, a differential static, or a secondary pitot. This output allows the user to create a second altitude (in feet or meters), a second absolute pressure (in inHg or mbar), a differential pressure for simulating AOA (in Diff.inHg or Diff mbar), or a differential pressure for generating a second airspeed (in knots or kmph) to simulate AOS. When the third output is not used, the tester operates exactly like our 2-output tester (Model 6300).
RVSM-Compliant: The high accuracy of the tester and NIST-traceable calibration make the tester fully RVSM-compliant and suitable for use on all RVSM-compliant aircraft.
Automated Operation: Simply enter the target set-points for altitude and airspeed, and the unit automatically achieves the targets, ramping at the programmed rates. Control at the set point is stable within ±1 foot and ±0.1 knot.
Programmable Limits: User-programmable limits for altitude, airspeed, Mach, and VSI provide protection to the aircraft.
Jog and Hold Features: Set-points can be “jogged” up or down in small increments. Ramping to a set-point can be put on “hold” and controlled at the current measured value.
Ground Feature: Brings pitot and static outputs to ambient “ground” pressure after completing a test.
Profiles Feature: A profile of set-points can be downloaded from a PC, allowing the user to step through the set-points using a single key. Each profile can have up to 50 set points, and the unit can store up to 20 profiles.
Leak Checks: Pitot and static leak checks can be performed either independently or simultaneously. Three leak-timers can be programmed to perform timed leaks between 1 to 20 minutes. The display of “instant” leak rates provides immediate feedback to the user.
Pressure & Vacuum Source: Built-in high-capacity dual vacuum pumps and pressure pumps provide the pressure and vacuum source for the unit. The pressure system features a filter and membrane dryer, providing clean, dry air throughout the entire system.
Remote Unit: The remote unit is the operator interface for the tester. It is small and light enough to be used in the cockpit. The tester can be turned on and off from the remote. All valid parameters, including altitude, climb, and airspeed, are clearly displayed simultaneously on a single screen on the remote.
Manual Vent: The tester includes precision metering valves to enable manual venting of the aircraft’s pitot-static system in the event of power loss.
When Is This Unit Used?
Ideal tester for use with aircraft equipped with SmartProbe™ that have the ability to sense AOA and/ or AOS.
Leak-checks and Air-data-system accuracy-checks on all RVSM aircraft, including aircraft with SmartProbe™. The tester can be used either in 3-output mode or 2-output mode. In 2-output mode, this tester operates exactly like our Model 6300.
When the 6600 is used with the OSM (Output Switching Module), it is possible to completely automate leak checks, which can be performed either individually on each port of the aircraft probes or simultaneously on all ports. Using the OSM makes it easy to isolate leaks, and the connection of the hoses and adapters to the aircraft is greatly simplified.

What is the difference between a 2-channel and a 3-channel flight data test set?
Answer:
A 2-channel air data tester supports pitot and static channels and is suitable for the majority of aircraft in service today. A 3-channel tester features an independent Angle of Attack (AOA) channel, making it essential for aircraft that utilize SmartProbe systems. These include, but are not limited to, the Dassault X Series, Gulfstream G550 and G650, Bombardier Global 8000, HondaJet, Phenom 300, and Embraer Legacy Series aircraft. If an airplane uses an integrated SmartProbe™ system rather than a mechanical vane, a 3-channel tester such as the 6600-NG is required.
Asked May 31, 2023
Question:
What does testing a SmartProbe™ mean, and how is it done?
Answer:
SmartProbe™ aircraft eliminate the traditional mechanical AOA vane and integrate AOA sensing into the probe itself. Therefore, testing a SmartProbe™ requires a flight data test set that can simulate and verify AOA pressure independently, which is why a 3-channel unit is required. During testing, the air data test set supplies coordinated pitot, static, and AOA pressures to validate probe accuracy. This ensures the aircraft’s advanced air data system performs correctly across all phases of flight.
Asked May 31, 2023
Question:
How are the “-W” and “-NG” models different from the previous “-L” models?
Answer:
The newer “-W” and “-NG” Laversab units introduce modern, cost-effective improvements over the legacy “-L” models. A key upgrade is integrated Wi-Fi, which allows technicians to operate the unit from a tablet or iPad for easier control and greater mobility. These newer test sets also include an additional transducer that continuously monitors ground reference, eliminating the need to manually use Functions 7 & 8 as required by older units. They are significantly lighter and designed with future interface enhancements in mind, including updated displays and new automation features.
Asked June 5, 2023
Question:
Will a Laversab air data test set work with Cobra Systems adapters?
Answer:
Yes, all Laversab air data test sets, including the 6600-NG, are compatible with adapters from Nav-Aids Ltd. and Cobra Systems/ATEQ Aviation. These adapters adhere to universal industry standards, enabling seamless integration across most aircraft types. Some aircraft may require reducers or specific AN-fitting sizes (such as #3, #4, or #6), so technicians benefit from having various fittings on hand. This broad compatibility simplifies pitot-static testing across diverse fleets.
Asked June 5, 2023
Question:
Is an iPad required to operate the 6600-NG?
Answer:
No, an iPad or tablet is not required, as the 6600-NG includes its own physical remote control. However, using an iPad makes operation significantly easier due to touchscreen functionality and the streamlined Laversab control app. Many technicians prefer tablet operation for its faster workflow, improved visibility, and enhanced mobility. PJi can provide bundled quotes that include an iPad if needed.
Asked June 5, 2023
Question:
Do Laversab air data test kits come with an iPad or tablet?
Answer:
By default, iPads and tablets are not included with the 6600-NG or other Laversab test sets. However, optional bundles can include an iPad or compatible tablet pre-configured with the control software. Adding a tablet enhances ease of use, especially during SmartProbe™ testing and wireless operation. If you need a bundled setup, PJi can include it in your quote.
Asked June 5, 2023
Question:
Does the Laversab 6600-NG have dual pumps?
Answer:
The Laversab 6600-NG actually incorporates three pumps. It includes a pressure pump for the pitot system, a vacuum pump for the static system, and a combination pump that can handle both pressure and vacuum simultaneously. This design enables fast and stable control of altitude and airspeed pressures during automated test sequences. The triple-pump configuration also supports RVSM-level accuracy and SmartProbe™ testing.
Asked November 3, 2023
Question:
Does the 6600-NG require regular calibration?
Answer:
Yes, periodic calibration is essential to maintain RVSM compliance and ensure accurate pitot-static performance. Most operators send the unit for calibration annually, though high-use environments may require more frequent checks. Laversab offers factory calibration, and many avionics shops are also equipped to perform certified recalibration. Staying within calibration ensures consistent and traceable test accuracy.
Asked November 13, 2025
Question:
Can the 6600-NG store test reports or download digital records?
Answer:
Yes, the 6600-NG features onboard data logging, allowing technicians to store completed pitot-static test reports directly on the device. These records can be downloaded to a computer or mobile device for archiving, regulatory compliance, or customer documentation. Digital recordkeeping helps streamline work orders and reduces administrative time after each test event.
