An Air Data Test Set performs two basic functions. First, it provides the means to leak test an aircraft’s pitot-static system. Second, it simulates pressure and vacuum conditions required to calibrate the airspeed, altimeter, vertical speed, manifold pressure, and engine pressure ratio (EPR) indicators.

The need for highly accurate air data test systems has become critical since the advent of RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum) reducing the vertical separation of aircraft in a predetermined airspace from 2,000 Ft separation to 1000 Ft. Barfield has already addressed RVSM by developing and upgrading three high quality air data test systems. These systems vary from an economical digital pitot-static tester using the latest transducer technology to an ultra modern fully automated air data test system.

Barfield has been manufacturing analog, digital, and RVSM pitot static test sets for over 40 years. The significant differences between any Air Data Test System are cost, accuracy, calibration interval, ease of use, and other features like programmable limits designed to protect the sensitive aircraft instrument from damage. All Barfield Air Data testers (Analog and Digital) meet or exceed the requirements of DOT Advisory Circular 43-203B for performing altimeter and static system tests and inspections.

In addition to the industry’s leading pitot static testers, Barfield also offers the entire Nav-Aids product line of custom adapters for most Military, Helicopter, General Aviation, Corporate Jets, and Airlines.
