Listers,
Can someone please steer me to the FARs that address the periodic
testing of the pitot static system, altimeter, transponder and encoder?
All those tests were done before my first flight. I'm now approaching
the two year point and would like to find the details of what tests must
be done before the end of the two years.
Thanks in advance.

FAR 91.411, 91.413 and Part 43: App E, Sec E43.1 & App F, Sec F43.1 (I
believe those cover all of the VFR & IFR checks).

FAR Part 91 requires the test and Part 43 appendix E and F has the
requirements.

The requirement is in FAR 91. I am sorry but I don't have my regs with me at the moment and cann't quote exact paragraph. Basically you need to get the transponder and encoder checked every two years for any type of flying. You only need to get a pitot/staic check done if you fly IFR or if the pitot/static system has been broken open for any reason.

Mike, just to clarify, if you're getting a new plane in the air that is NOT intended for IFR flight there is no pitot/static system leak test required, only the encoder and transponder? My understanding, maybe wrongly, was that the leak test WAS required as part of initial certification.
Thanks,

I've just been through this - the leak test is NOT required for VFR Day/Nigh flight.

We don't require the leak test as part of certification due to the fact that there may not be any testing facility where your plane is. It just has to get done as soon as possible along with the encoder and transponder. After that you should do a leak check is you ever break open the system but it is required unless you do IFR.

Except at the first encoder/transponder test after certification.� You may not even know it is being done because if the encoder is not reading out right then there is a leak in the static system. When they make a log entry about the encoder test the faa will accept that as the static system check. If the pitot side has a leak then you will find that out when you are test flying the aircraft.

Just read my own post ... I would add ...
... But why on earth would you not want to do it ? Don't you want to know if your pitot/static system is functioning properly ?

I don't think it's a question of not doing it, rather it's a question of
having to do it "officially". It's an easy test to do for one's own
satisfaction but if you need to have the magic certificate number in the
logbook, it becomes somewhat more expensive and much less convenient..
