Hi Ron-

I calibrate the ASI on my Avid Flyer by placing an O-ring on the static
probe.  Moving the O-ring aft of the static port causes the indicated
airspeed to increase, and if forward of the static port the indicated
airspeed will decrease.  A few runs in both directions over a measured or
known course will converge on the best position for the O-ring.  Of course,
nowadays with GPS it's a bit easier!

I was reading an article on airspeed today.

It talks about most likely having to calibrate your pitot static system, and
calibrate your airspeed indicator.

I understand, why you may need to do this.

What do you physical change/do to pitot static system and or airspeed
indicator?

Thx.
