This hole connects to the **pitot-static system** — the network of sensors and tubes that measure your airspeed and altitude.\n\n**Why it matters:** Water getting into the pitot-static system can cause false readings of airspeed or altitude, which creates serious safety risks during flight. The rubber grommet blocks water from entering while still allowing any trapped moisture to drain out.\n\n**When it had to be done:** Within 100 hours of flying time after 31 July 1970."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification","history":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification/documents"}}
