AvionTEq has announced that the Barfield 1811NG Digital Pitot Static Test Set is available for immediate delivery, a move that could shorten equipment procurement lead times for maintenance operations preparing for upcoming aircraft inspection and testing work. The Van Nuys, California-based provider of aviation test equipment and tooling solutions said the unit is in stock and ready to ship.
The announcement matters because pitot-static testing is a routine but essential part of aircraft maintenance, covering altimeter, airspeed and vertical speed checks as well as pitot-static system leak testing. When that equipment is back-ordered, maintenance providers can face scheduling delays. Having the 1811NG available off the shelf gives technicians faster access to a fully automated test set.
Manufactured by Barfield, Inc., the 1811NG (P/N 101-01178) is an automated pitot and static pressure controller for testing and inspection of aircraft. It is designed for General Aviation, helicopters, UAVs, non-RVSM regional aircraft and corporate aircraft applications. Features include a 7-inch color touch screen, remote Wi-Fi operation, programmable limit protection for height correction, automatic leak-testing capabilities and portable construction suited to the aviation maintenance environment. The test set can also be controlled wirelessly over Wi-Fi with compatible mobile devices, expanding testing flexibility for technicians.
Fred Bostani, AvionTEq CEO, said having critical aircraft test equipment available off the shelf enables the company to support customers who need effective solutions quickly for their maintenance operations. He described the Barfield 1811NG as a fast and affordable option for pitot-static and air data testing for General Aviation and various non-RVSM operators.
For the wider industry, the availability signals that at least one channel for automated pitot-static test equipment is not constrained by long lead times. That could be particularly relevant for smaller operators and maintenance shops that cannot afford to wait on extended procurement cycles before scheduled inspections.
