68-pin connector

Both static pressure ports must be used for sensor redundancy (Y tubing connection is strongly recommended).

Warning

The static pressure port 4 is always used by Autopilot 1x to calculate speed (using the difference of pressure between ports 4 and 5), no matter which sensor is selected in configuration.
