The air data pressure test equipment is required to test the air data controller (ADC) on USCG aircraft during periodic and scheduled maintenance intervals. The air data pressure test equipment provides air pressure to the pitot and static air ports to emulate flight at various altitudes and air speeds. The ADC is an essential avionics component found on aircraft that replaces individual instruments to determine the calibrated airspeed, altitude and altitude trend, from air pressure captured at the airframe’s external pitot and static air ports.
