Pitot/Static Problems
This is a map I made from a rectified image of the FAA airport diagram of Beverly Airport. On February 19, 2006 I had a problem (probably ice) in the pitot/static system right after takeoff. The result was a loss of three instruments: altimeter, airspeed indicator and vertical speed indicator. The controller at Beverly Tower graciously gave me clearance to turn and land immediately on Runway 34 and taxi back to taxiway Charlie. You can see the gps track of my plane taxiing to the runup area for Runway 27, the takeoff roll on 27 and my drift to the South of the Runway after takeoff as I try to figure out what is wrong with the instruments. You can also see the curving approach to 34, the landing there and the taxi back to the ramp.
