The immediate availability of the Barfield 1811NG Digital Pitot Static Test Set from AvionTEq signals a meaningful shift for maintenance providers facing persistent equipment procurement delays. By holding the 1811NG in stock, AvionTEq enables customers to bypass lengthy lead times and gain fast access to a fully automated test set as they prepare for aircraft maintenance, inspection, and testing activities.
The Barfield 1811NG, P/N 101-01178, is designed to support technicians performing altimeter, airspeed, and vertical speed testing, as well as pitot-static system leak testing. Its 7-inch color touch screen, programmable limit protection for height correction, and automatic leak-testing capabilities make it suited to the aviation maintenance environment. The unit also supports remote Wi-Fi operation with compatible mobile devices, expanding testing flexibility for technicians performing aircraft tests. These features target General Aviation, helicopters, UAVs, non-RVSM regional aircraft, and corporate aircraft applications.
The significance of the announcement lies in the operational reality it addresses. Aircraft maintenance schedules are frequently constrained by the availability of specialized test equipment, and a fully automated pitot-static test set that is ready for immediate delivery can shorten the interval between an aircraft entering the shop and returning to service. Fred Bostani, AvionTEq CEO, said: "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."
For operators of non-RVSM aircraft, the 1811NG offers a route to compliance and system verification without the capital outlay or waiting period associated with ordering new equipment. Because the unit is currently in stock at AvionTEq, customers can decrease equipment procurement lead times and gain speedy access as they prepare for upcoming maintenance activities. The availability also matters for smaller operators and repair stations that may not have the resources to carry spare test sets, since off-the-shelf access reduces the risk of grounded aircraft and missed inspection deadlines.
AvionTEq provides global aviation test equipment and tooling solutions to commercial airlines, MROs, OEMs, business aviation operators, and government/defense organizations. The company sells new and certified refurbished equipment for sale or rent and provides calibration, repair, trade-in, and technical support services. Organizations seeking details on configuration, calibration, accessories, warranty, and shipping options for the Barfield 1811NG can contact AvionTEq team directly. The broader implication is that stock availability of an automated pitot-static test set gives maintenance operations a practical way to keep pace with inspection demands without being held back by equipment lead times.
