NORMAL STATIC AIR SYSTEM
Section VII
Systems Description
The normal static system provides a source of static air to
the flight instruments through a flush static fitting on each
side of the airplane fuselage. Aft of the rear closure bulk-
head (rear seat panel) is a drain plug, located at the low
point of the normal static system. It is provided in order to
drain moisture accumulations from the system. The
closure bulkhead is held in place with Velcro and may be
removed by pulling forward. The drain plug should be re-
moved and the moisture drained from the clear plastic line ·
every 100 hours and after exposure to visible moisture,
either in the air or on the ground.
EMERGENCY STATIC AIR SYSTEM
An emergency static air source may be installed to pro-
vide air for instrument operation should the static ports
become blocked. Refer to the EMERGENCY PRO-
CEDURES Section for procedures describing how and
when to use this system.
VACUUM SYSTEM (V35)
Suction for gyroscopic flight instruments and other
vacuum-operated optional equipment is supplied by an
engine-driven vacuum pump. Suction is controlled by an
adjustable valve at the left hand aft side of the firewall.
A gage located on the lower left subpanel indicates in
inches of mercury the amount of suction in the vacuum
system. The suction should be maintained within the
green arc for proper operation of the vacuum-operated
instruments.
