Senior Airman Austin Jackson, a precision measurement equipment laboratory technician from the 18th Component Maintenance Squadron, calibrates a TTU-205/J pilot-static test kit at Kadena Air Base, Japan, April 29, 2021. After a preliminary self-test to check the user interface functions correctly, the test kit is connected to a calibrator, which completes a pre-check before the calibration. This two-step process takes approximately three hours to complete, but is integral to ensuring the machine functions correctly. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Anna Nolte)

Senior Airman Austin Jackson, a precision measurement equipment laboratory technician from the 18th Component Maintenance Squadron, calibrates a TTU-205/J pilot-static test kit at Kadena Air Base, Japan, April 29, 2021. The TTU-205 is used to test, troubleshoot and calibrate aircraft pilot-static systems by simulating in-flight pressure conditions. It provides a known altitude and airspeed to the aircraft and tests the systems response to ensure accuracy, and in order to do so, the TTU-205 itself must be accurate.
