Aero-Instruments announced that, after 18 months of rigorous testing and evaluation, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has approved the company’s 0851HL-AI Pitot Probe as a replacement part on Airbus S.A.S. airplanes flown worldwide.
The Aero-Instruments’ 0851HL-AI Pitot Probe can now be installed on the more than 4,500 Airbus A318, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A340 series airplanes in operation worldwide. Each Airbus commercial aircraft has three Pitot Probes, which are the primary air speed sensing components on aircraft and are designed with integrated electrical heaters to prevent icing.
