Ep 3 Flaps & Pitot Static Test - Task-Based Flight Test Series

We start testing our new experimental amateur built aircraft in earnest! Starting with Test Card 2 and the flap check, then we get hot and heavy into analyzing telemetry (flight data recorder) data to determine the error in our indicated airspeed. We'll compute true airspeed using wind-corrected patterns and GPS ground speed to then convert to calibrated airspeed. The difference between the calibrated airspeed and indicated airspeed is the pitot-static error. This is important to 1) determine if your airspeed indication is in the ballpark of accurate, and 2) see how far off your True Airspeed indication is on your modern EFIS. I argue why the manufacturers like Garmin and Dynon should allow us experimental customers to add our calibration curve to affect an accurate true airspeed. I'll explain how to import the .csv file from your EFIS to determine the pitot-static error!
