If I am not using the AOA probe, what should I do with the unused port on the ADAHRS - leave it open or blank it off?

Regards

The ADAHRS came with a plastic plug in the port. Leaving it installed will prevent contamination of the port which might occur if left open.

The AOA measurement is via differential to pitot pressure. If tee'ed to pitot, there will be no pressure across the sensor.

You don't need to tee it into the pitot if you aren't using it. Just leave the red plastic plug in it.
