## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE AIRSPEED INDICATOR HAD BEEN REMOVED FOR MAINTENACE, AND RE-INSTALLED. SUPPOSEDLY A PITOT/STATIC TEST WAS CARRIED OUT, AND SIGNED FOR. AIRCRAFT WHEN ON INITIAL FLIGHT AND AIRSPEED & ALTIMETER DID NOT FUNCTION.THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS THAT, THE STATIC LINE TO AIRSPEED WAS TOTALLY KINKED OFF. THE LINE WAS REPAIRED WITH A SATISFACTORY PITOT/STATIC TEST BEING CARRIED OUT.
