## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED AFTER TAKE OFF, RECEIVED ERRONEOUS AIRSPEED INFO ON COPILOT'S SIDE ALONG WITH IAS FLAGS AND SMC AIRDATA CAS MESSAGE. DISCONTINUED FLIGHT AND RETURNED TO TEB.  MAINTENANCE FOUND WATER IN THE NR 2 LEFT AND BOTH RIGHT SIDE STATIC PORTS, AND IN THE RIGHT PRIMARY PITOT TUBE. BOTH SYSTEMS WERE FLUSHED WITH NITROGEN UNTIL NO WATER REMAINED. PITOT STATIC SYSTEM RECONNECT TEST WAS PERFORMED WITH NO DEFECTS NOTED AND THE AIRPLANE WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
