AIR Quality Training unveiled its new LT-2400 pitot-static leak tester at the 2025 AEA Convention. During the New Product Introductions session, the company’s head of research and development presented the device as a practical approach to preventing delays in scheduled inspections.
“In the aviation industry, we often find that the solutions to our problems are expensive and complicated. At AIR Quality Training, we’re trying to change that by keeping it simple and inexpensive,” he said.
The LT-2400 addresses two specific industry pain points: the need to reschedule inspections due to leaky pitot-static systems and the inefficient use of expensive test equipment to locate simple leaks. Giving an example scenario, the company’s spokesperson said, “The customer schedules their 24-month pitot-static inspection, only to discover on the day of the inspection that their pitot-static system has developed a leak. Now they must reschedule the inspection, which costs them money and precious flight time.”
Maintenance facilities face similar challenges. “Avionics shops don’t want to tie up their expensive $50,000 test set for several hours just to chase down a simple leak.”
Designed as a pre-inspection diagnostic tool, the LT-2400 allows maintenance providers, avionics shops, non-certificated maintenance facilities, and owner-operators to verify system integrity before scheduling formal inspections.
AIR Quality Training is an FAA-approved provider of online training for airframe, instrument, and radio specialties.
