Abstract: A method of mounting at least one pressure port in a skin of an aircraft, where the port is made with a hollow tube implanted in the skin, optimizes conditions whereby each of the tubes is made flush with the skin so that static or dynamic pressure measurements are accurate and reliable. The method includes a step of leveling each of the tubes and a step of painting the skin. To achieve satisfactory leveling conditions for the tubes on each occasion, the leveling step is independent of the layer of paint deposited on the skin.

Abstract: A device for testing pneumatic circuits and for measuring the leakage rate from reference pressure lines onboard an aircraft, connected to a plenum chamber. The device includes a multi-pressure system, comprising several sensors each connected to a reference pressure line, first solenoid valves arranged on the input channels to this multi-pressure system, and connected to the reference pressure lines through first connectors, second solenoid valves arranged on the reference pressure lines, a pressure controller module that is connected to all the first solenoid valves through a second connector, an electronic board that controls the solenoid valves and calibration of the multi-pressure system, a control device. The invention also relates to a method making use of this device.
