## Discrepancy

AIRSPEED DISPARITY DURING IFR APPROACH, WATER IN LT STATIC PORT.  FIRST TIME OCCURRENCE W/ THIS AC OUTSIDE DURING RAINSTORM LASTING 3 HOURS.  STATIC DRAINS DRY, WATER ACCUMULATED JUST INSIDE STATIC PORT.  DID NOT KNOW WHY STATIC PORT HEATER DID NOT REMOVE THE MOISTURE.  RESULT OF PROBLEM: AIRSPEED DISPARITY/ EFIS AIR DATA CHECK SOM ERROR/ PILOTS ABORTED APPROACH AND PERFORMED MISSED/ RETURNED TO DEPARTURE.  BLEW OUT STATIC PORT, SUBSEQUENT FLIGHTS, OPS CHECKED GOOD.  (K)
