AvionTEq has announced that the Barfield 1811NG Digital Pitot Static Test Set is available for immediate delivery, a move that could significantly shorten equipment procurement timelines for aviation maintenance providers. The Van Nuys, California-based supplier said the test set is in stock and ready to ship, allowing technicians to begin altimeter, airspeed, vertical speed, and pitot-static system leak testing without the delays often associated with specialized aviation tooling orders.
The Barfield 1811NG, manufactured by Barfield, Inc. under part number 101-01178, is a fully automated pitot and static pressure controller designed for testing and inspection of aircraft. It features a 7-inch color touch screen, remote Wi-Fi operation, programmable limit protection for height correction, and automatic leak-testing capabilities. Its portable construction is adapted to the aviation maintenance environment, and the unit can be controlled wirelessly over Wi-Fi with compatible mobile devices, expanding flexibility for technicians performing tests on the flight line or in the hangar.
The test set is intended for general aviation, helicopters, UAVs, non-RVSM regional aircraft, and corporate aircraft applications. For operators of these aircraft types, immediate availability means maintenance schedules can be met more reliably, especially when replacement or supplemental test equipment is needed on short notice. AvionTEq noted that having the Barfield 1811NG in stock at AvionTEq allows customers to decrease equipment procurement lead times and gain speedy access as they prepare for aircraft maintenance, inspection, and testing activities in the near future.
Fred Bostani, AvionTEq CEO, said in a statement: "Having critical aircraft test equipment available off the shelf enables us to support customers who need effective solutions, fast for their maintenance operations. The Barfield 1811NG offers a fast and affordable option for pitot-static and air data testing for General Aviation and various non-RVSM operators." The comment underscores a broader industry concern: access to calibrated, ready-to-use test equipment can be a bottleneck for maintenance providers managing tight turnaround times.
AvionTEq provides global aviation test equipment and tooling solutions to commercial airlines, MROs, OEMs, business aviation operators, and government and defense organizations. The company sells new and certified refurbished equipment for sale or rent and offers calibration, repair, trade-in, and technical support services. For those seeking additional air data testing options, AvionTEq maintains a range of AvionTEq air data test sets. The immediate availability of the Barfield 1811NG is likely to be welcomed by maintenance teams that require dependable pitot-static testing capability without extended lead times.
