I am starting to wire things and wondered if a local ground to a wing rib is fine for the pitot or should I run a separate ground wire, what say you all? I have the Dynon heated AOA/Pitot.
I wonder if the controller acts as a ground, I still need to ask Dynon. But I hooked everything up to test and that went well, then I hooked up things to simulate an airframe ground, the power source ground to the wing and the positive to the controller wire (red), and I had not hooked up the controller ground wire to the wing rib, but the pitot heat kicked on, hmmm. some how it was getting a ground, the only thing I could think of was the controller being attached to the wing rib was making a ground, this might be good or bad, I will have to ask Dynon.
Thanks for any help, I did no find anything on topic with a quick search of "pitot ground"
