So it does collect water by using a trap basically, if water does happen to reach that point. Thanks again!

No one ever explains it like that picture!

Thank you !! That is what I was looking for

If on a standard pitot tube you have a blockage and the drain hole remains open the airspeed will read zero. If a blockage on the pitot mast occurs with no drain hole it will act as an altimeter right? So there is a difference

Why would a standard pitot tube have a drain hole then?

Can you please explain how the water gets to the static port side to be drained out. There’s only 2 tubes, one for the ram air and one for the static air. Sorry to be a pain but I don’t see that.

This is a cross section

Thanks for your response however I don’t believe that’s correct

Can anyone explain how the Pitot Mast in an Archer keeps water out of the Airspeed Indicator? Other pitot systems have drain holes which allow water out the back. I can’t find any info on this. The Archer does however have a static port drain. Any info appreciated!
