A method of calibrating the static-pressure source of a pitot-static airspeed installation on an airplane in level flight, dives, and other maneuvers at high altitude and at transonic and supersonic speeds is described. The method principally involves the use of radar- phototheodolite tracking equipment. The various sources of error in the method are discussed and sample calibrations are included.
