AvionTEq has announced that the Barfield 1811NG Digital Pitot Static Test Set is available for immediate delivery, a move that trims equipment procurement lead times for aviation maintenance operations preparing for upcoming inspection and testing work. The Van Nuys, California-based provider of aviation test equipment said the unit, part number 101-01178, ships from stock.
The announcement matters because pitot-static testing sits at the center of airworthiness checks for altimeters, airspeed indicators and vertical speed instruments, and a grounded aircraft waiting on test equipment translates directly into lost revenue and schedule disruption. For maintenance, repair and overhaul providers, flight schools, corporate flight departments and government operators, off-the-shelf availability can mean the difference between meeting a maintenance window and pushing it back.
Manufactured by Barfield, Inc., the 1811NG is a fully automated pitot and static pressure controller built for testing and inspection of aircraft. Its feature set includes a 7-inch color touch screen, remote Wi-Fi operation, programmable limit protection for height correction, automatic leak-testing capabilities and portable construction suited to the aviation maintenance environment. The test set can also be controlled wirelessly over Wi-Fi with compatible mobile devices, giving technicians added flexibility when running aircraft tests.
The equipment is positioned for general aviation, helicopters, UAVs, non-RVSM regional aircraft and corporate aircraft applications. That breadth is significant for smaller operators and unmanned aircraft programs that often need capable test gear without the cost and complexity of equipment built for large commercial fleets.
Fred Bostani, AvionTEq CEO, said having critical aircraft test equipment available off the shelf allows 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.
AvionTEq provides global aviation test equipment and tooling solutions to commercial airlines, MROs, OEMs, business aviation operators and government and defense organizations.

Buyers can review the broader range of AvionTEq air data test sets, and the Barfield 1811NG is listed as in stock at AvionTEq.
For the wider industry, the availability signals that at least some segments of the aviation test equipment supply chain are holding inventory rather than pushing customers into long backorder queues, a detail that could influence how maintenance planners schedule work in the months ahead.
