GE PACE5000 - Altitude, Airspeed, and Unit Settings; Simulating Altitude and Airspeed; Testing Cautions and Best Practices

6 Reference and Specification
K0443 Revision A 6 - 34 [EN] English
Altitude to Airspeed.
Example of Altitude and Airspeed Testing
This example shows how two-channel PACE instruments can be used to generate altitude
and airspeed.
Cautions
Before testing, set the rates of change for both Pitot and Static to a safe value. A high
rate of change can damage sensitive aeronautical components. Refer to the appropriate
Component Maintenance Manual for the unit under test.
In this example configuration, negative airspeed can be generated this can damage an
airspeed indicator. To prevent negative airspeed, apply the Static pressure before the
Pitot pressure for increasing and decreasing airspeed values.
