Which aircraft instruments are connected solely to the static pressure system?

  1. Airspeed indicator and Altimeter

  2. Vertical speed indicator and Altimeter

  3. Airspeed indicator and Vertical speed indicator

  4. Attitude indicator and Heading indicator

The correct answer is: Vertical speed indicator and Altimeter

The vertical speed indicator measures the rate of change in altitude, which is dependent on changes in static pressure. The airspeed indicator also uses static pressure in conjunction with pitot pressure to determine airspeed. The attitude indicator and heading indicator do not rely on static pressure for their measurements.
