During preflight, what is checked regarding the pitot-static system on the DA20-C1?

• A. Pitot tubes and static ports clear, instruments respond correctly, and check for leaks or blockages
• B. Cabin air temperature
• C. Oxygen system operation
• D. Landing gear tire condition

Answer: (C)

The pitot-static system check focuses on the air data that feeds the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator. In preflight, you verify that the pitot tubes and static ports are clear of obstructions, ensure the instruments respond correctly to changes in air pressure, and check for any leaks or blockages in the lines. This ensures you’ll have accurate speed, altitude, and vertical speed readings in flight. The other items listed aren’t part of the pitot-static system: cabin air temperature is an environmental concern, the oxygen system is a separate system, and landing gear tire condition relates to the landing gear.
