My son took our 172B up to practice slow flight before his check ride and on climbout, he noticed the airspeed bouncing between 0 and 40 knots. He turned around and landed without incident and the A&P on the field ruled out a blockage or leak in the pitot/static system, recommending we replace the indicator. This is proving to be neither easy nor economical as certified new is around $2k and used but untested is about $200. I got one on the way from ebay and I may send the old one in for overhaul, but hopefully this one lasts long enough for him to get his check ride passed.
Any better suggestions, and can we do the r&r or does an A&P have to? Thanks guys!
