AvionTEq has announced that the Barfield 1811NG Digital Pitot Static Test Set is available for immediate delivery, a move that shortens equipment procurement lead times for operators preparing aircraft for maintenance, inspection and testing. The Van Nuys, California-based provider of aviation test equipment said the unit, part number 101-01178 and manufactured by Barfield, Inc., is held in stock rather than ordered on a build-to-schedule basis.
The 1811NG is a fully automated pitot-static test set built for technicians performing altimeter, airspeed and vertical speed testing, along with pitot-static system leak testing. Barfield designed the unit for general aviation, helicopters, UAVs, non-RVSM regional aircraft and corporate aircraft applications, a segment where maintenance providers often work with tight turnaround windows and limited access to shared test equipment.
Its feature set includes a 7-inch color touch screen, remote Wi-Fi operation, programmable limit protection for height correction and automatic leak-testing capabilities. The portable construction is adapted to the aviation maintenance environment, and the test set can be controlled wirelessly over Wi-Fi with compatible mobile devices, giving technicians more flexibility when running aircraft tests. For shops weighing how to equip a pitot-static bench or a mobile testing kit, the combination of automation and remote control is central to the product’s appeal.
The commercial significance lies in availability. Test equipment shortages can stall an inspection or delay a return to service, and off-the-shelf access removes one variable from maintenance planning. AvionTEq positions itself as supplying new and certified refurbished equipment for sale or rent, alongside calibration, repair, trade-in and technical support services, to commercial airlines, MROs, OEMs, business aviation operators and government or defense organizations. The company’s broader air data test set inventory is listed through AvionTEq.
Fred Bostani, AvionTEq CEO, said having critical aircraft test equipment available off the shelf enables the company to support customers who need effective solutions quickly for their maintenance operations. He described the Barfield 1811NG as a fast and affordable option for pitot-static and air data testing for general aviation and various non-RVSM operators. Buyers can confirm the configuration, calibration, accessories, warranty and shipping options for the unit, which is in stock at AvionTEq.
For operators, the announcement matters because pitot-static testing underpins the accuracy of instruments pilots rely on in flight, and automated leak testing reduces the manual workload involved in verifying system integrity. Stock availability of a purpose-built, portable test set therefore has a direct bearing on how quickly maintenance teams can schedule and complete that work.
