D60 is reading 50 or so high at low speeds, even taxiing. Not too far off at high speeds. Was at Sun N Fun and wondering if the weather/winds might have had something to do. No problem on the way there. I have checked the pitot and static ports for debris, and voltage is reading normal on the unit....

If it changed during Sun 'n Fun (or "Rain 'n Pain", as the SnF newspaper called it), it might have to do with the weather. If water were trapped in a pitot line, it could cause issues like this. You might try disconnecting the pitot/static lines from the back of the EFIS and blowing them out from the reverse side. If you're seeing non-zero IAS at rest, though, even after you take off the pitot/static lines, then there might be some issue with the EFIS - perhaps some water damage. Give us a call at 425-402-0433 if you don't find an issue with the plumbing.

Blew much water from the static line.
All is well.
How did all that get in through the pin sized hole?

Some serious sideways rain.
Going to make some static port covers I guess to go with the cowl plugs. :eek:
