What is the Pitot Stick?
The Pitot Stick is an innovative tool designed and manufactured in the UK specifically to aid the installation and removal of pitot covers. Protecting the aircraft's Pitot Static system from contamination is of vital importance which is why the protocol is in place to cover the Pitot tubes and Static vents whilst the aircraft is parked.
Accessing the Pitot cover on some aircraft can involve using a stand or step ladder on some harder to reach Pitot tubes, which is where this simple, yet versatile tool can be easily utilised. The telescopic shaft on the Pitot Stick enables quick and easy installation or removal of inaccessible Pitot covers, making the task swift and easy.
