PSS-8 GSE Tip Cover SIM-6D6-C12 — BOLTON SKU 66343.
About the SIM-6D6-C12 PSS-8 GSE Tip Cover
The SIM-6D6-C12 is a ground support equipment (GSE) tip cover used to protect PSS-8 and FTB-1 pitot-static probes while the aircraft is on the ground. The cover fits over the probe tip so that the pressure ports are shielded from debris, insects and accidental contact during parking, ground handling and maintenance, and it is fitted with a Remove Before Flight flag so that the cover remains visible during the walk-round and cannot be left in place unnoticed. Mass is 0.015 kg, so a cover adds negligible weight to a probe set or a GSE kit and can be carried in quantity. The SIM-6D6-C12 GSE tip cover is manufactured in Switzerland and is classified under Swiss HTS heading 9014.9000 as a part or accessory of navigational instruments. It is declared as a preferential-origin product and is recorded as not export restricted.

Typical applications
Tip covers of this kind are part of the standard ground-handling kit for air-data and flight-test instrumentation, fitted whenever the aircraft is parked or moved and removed as part of the pre-flight walk-round. Because pitot-static pressure ports are small and easily blocked, protecting them on the ground is the practical control against contamination that would otherwise show up as an air-data error in flight. The very low mass means covers are usually held as spares in the probe transit case as well as on the aircraft.
