Issue: Airspeed doesn’t vary in my recordings
Solutions:
•
Ensure that the MicroSensor is connected correctly to the MicroPower
•
Ensure that you are logging airspeed, under “Tools, Choose Parameters to Log in the Recorder”
•
Ensure that the Pitot Tube is connected
Issue: My plane shows an airspeed variation during warm-up on the ground as I rev the throttle.
Solution: This problem can occur when the Pitot Tube’s opening is being hit by prop-wash. The solution is to move the tube farther away
from propeller airflow. Note that slight variations in speed is normal when stationary.
