What is Ground Support Test Equipment?
As its name suggests, ground support test equipment includes the specialized tools and devices used to service aircraft when they are not in flight. With this specialized equipment, qualified aviation personnel can perform routine maintenance checks, make unexpected repairs and run tests to ensure that aircraft is in good working order. Ground support test equipment can usually be found at an airport apron, or the area where aircraft are parked, and is utilized for all manner of aircraft, particularly military and commercial models.
The two most common categories of ground support test equipment are equipment that handles aircraft and equipment that services aircraft. Examples of aircraft handling equipment include tow tractors, cranes and dollies, while examples of aircraft servicing equipment include power generators, cabin pressure test units and munition loading systems. In both cases, the primary function of ground support test equipment is to maintain and repair aircraft so that they can run as scheduled and at peak efficiency.
Laversab Aviation is proud to manufacture and distribute aircraft ground support test equipment that is widely valued throughout the aviation industry.

Model 6200: Automated Pitot Static Tester
The distinguishing characteristic of the Model 6200 is that it is a Pitot Static tester designed specifically for helicopters and non-RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum) aircraft. With the Model 6200, aircraft operators will be able to perform quality control checks on Pitot Static systems, altimeters, airspeed indicators and VSIs (Vertical Speed Indicators). Best of all, these checks can be done while the aircraft flies at low airspeeds. The Model 6200 comes with a remote unit with a large keypad and screen display and “profiles” to accelerate testing, in addition to such options as a removable eight-hour battery and wide operating temperature. The Model 6200 can also be controlled via tablet devices such as an iPad.

Model 6200: Automated Pitot Static Tester (Non-RVSM)
The Model 6200 is a Pitot Static tester targeted for helicopters and Non-RVSM aircraft. It is approved for most Helicopters and is used to perform leak checks and accuracy checks on the Pitot Static systems. Accuracy check is performed on typical flight instrumentation – altimeters, airspeed indicators and VSI’s – and can be done at low airspeeds. The Model 6200 includes a Remote unit with large keypad and display, a removable 8-hour battery (optional), wide operating temperature (optional), and “profiles” to accelerate testing. The unit can be controlled by an iPad or other tablets.
Model 6250: RVSM Automated Pitot Static Tester
The Model 6250 is ideally suited to light jets equipped with RVSM Pitot Static testers. This unit is used to check for potentially dangerous leaks and ensure that RVSM ground support test equipment is working properly. The Model 6250 can check for accurate Pitot output readings on altimeters, airspeed indicators and VSIs while the aircraft proceeds at a low airspeed. Included with the Model 6250 are the following items: a remote unit with a visible keypad and display and “profiles” to accelerate testing. Optional items include a removable eight-hour battery and a wide operating temperature. The Model 6250 can be controlled remotely by an iPad or other tablet devices.

Model 6250: RVSM Automated Pitot Static Tester (for light jets)
The Model 6250 is the ideal RVSM Pitot Static tester for light RVSM Jets. It is used to perform leak-checks and accuracy checks on RVSM aircraft. Accuracy checks are typically performed on altimeters, airspeed indicators and VSI’s. The high accuracy of the Pitot output is ideally suited for checks at low airspeeds. The Model 6250 includes a Remote unit with large keypad and display, a removable 8-hour battery (optional), wide operating temperature (optional), and “profiles” to accelerate testing. The unit can be controlled by an iPad or other tablets.
Model 6300: RVSM Automated Pitot Static Tester
As the most versatile two-channel RVSM Pitot Static tester on the market, the Model 6300 is a product that can be used on a variety of aircraft, including those belonging to the commercial, business and general aviation industries. Moreover, the Model 6300 is approved for use by Boeing, Airbus and most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The Model 6300 can be used to check for leaks and ensure accuracy on various Pitot Static systems within RVSM aircraft. The accuracy checks on altimeters, airspeed indicators and VSIs can be done on aircraft flying up to 690 knots and 60,000 feet. The Model 6300 is equipped with a remote unit with a large keypad and display, along with “profiles” to accelerate testing and optional features such as a removable eight-hour battery and wide operating temperature. Calibration of the Model 6300 can be performed on a once-per-year basis, and the unit can be controlled by an iPad or other tablets.
