| Modifications | Mounting in a flow-parallel perforated tube in order to achieve a well defined homogeneous density distribution, measured by p and T. Active flushing of the sensor head with clean gas instead of using the internal scrubbers which are too slow to cope with leaking observed during descents after high-altitude operation. |
| Operational restriction | suitable for slow aircraft (<60 m/s) only. |
| Operational requirements | 28 VDC, a few Watts. |
| Certification approvals | NO, only for DIMO underwing pod and MetAir operation. |
| Additional information |
| Access | YES, in principle, also consulting on how and why to make the modifications. |
| Could also fit on any aircraft having the following characteristics | |
