On the big helicopters I fly there is a alt static system that vents behind
the panel. A good trick is to switch to alt without letting the other pilot
see when the auto pilot's engauged, then open a window and she takes a
dive......J.

I have my static source behind the instrument panel, and it seems to work
well until I open the doors! There is also some error when doing a strong
slip to lose altitude. More importantly, the static errors will effect
your altimeter, and our encoder if you are using Mode C. There may be a
conflict between your indicated altitude, and that which is reported to ATC.
I'm not sure how much "off-altitude" you are permitted until the ATC/FAA
becomes interested.

I am having trouble figuring out where to put my static ports on my series
6. I have
combed the manual and cant find any reference to it at all, does anyone
know
where
I can find drawings showing where to put static ports?
I searched the archives and found lots of threads about cabin air being
much
better
than a poorly located static port but no indication where the correct
location is.
Thanks!

That's an awesome trick!
I don't know where it comes from, but I was taught that if you have a static
source problem (maybe water iced up in the line?), you can break the glass
on the face of the VSI, and it will port to the cabin. Doesn't work for
either a pressurized cabin or the rental company insurance agent.

to be considered safe for flight an altimeter should be within 75 (plus or
minus) feet of the field elevation when the current altimeter setting is placed
in the Kollsman window.(check before each flight) See the AERONAUTICAL
INFORMATION MANUAL Chapter 7 paragraph 7-2-3 Altimeter Errors. In flight the
altimeter setting of the nearest reporting station should be used. ATC depends
on your setting the altimeter accordingly and if there is an error greater
than 75 feet + - your instrument must be repaired. If the error is less than +
- 75 feet do not correct your setting to achieve field elevation you must set
the current altimeter setting in the window and fly your IFR and VFR
altitude accordingly without corrections; you must make allowances for the error to
clear terrain.
