Air data calibration measures the air mass surrounding aircraft. The 2 main charcteristics that aare measured are pressure and temperature., and acquired through various sensors.
An air data test set provides an aircraft information on altitude, airspeed and vertical speed. It is consists of a pressure generator, sensor and display unit.
Air Data test sets can train aircraft maintenance technicians on calibration techniques as well as research and development purposes. These are commonly used for the testing of pilot-satic ssytems, avionics and identifying leak detection.
An air data test set uses altimeters to measure altitude conditions for aircraft. This happens by simulating various altitude conditions and adjusting the air pressure within its system.
What is Air Data with respect to the avionics industry?
Air data is a measurement of the physical characteristics of the air mass that surrounds an aircraft. Temperature and pressure are the two maim parameters. Using these, flight parameters can be calculates, including air speed, altitude, rate of cli ...

An air data test set is a an electronic controller that, based on a supply pressure, automatically provides a pressure at a variable and adjustable rate. Air data test sets are specifically developed to convert the pressure to be controlled into a ...
