These two simple features power three of the most important cockpit instruments. Since static pressure changes with altitude and weather, the static port provides a constant reading of the current atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric, or static pressure, varies with altitude and weather.

While it may be common to find some very spartan instrumentation on an open cockpit biplane at the local fly-in, the level of complexity increases exponentially in turboprops and jet cockpits. Technically, even a cockpit lighting rheostat qualifies as avionics, but pilots typically associate the term with advanced technology.
