Pitot tube
To be able to measure the dynamic pressure the pitot tube must face forward in the undisturbed airflow.
Pitot Tube: Clear
The pitot is connected to the airspeed indicator (along with a static source). Make sure nothing is stuck in there that will restrict the flow of air, otherwise the airspeed indicator may not function properly.
PITOT TUBE - More accurately but less popularly used, Pitot-Static Tube, ...
Pitot Tube: Parts of an airspeed indicator consisting of a tube with an open end exposed to the airstream. The compressed air in the pitot tube is conveyed by a length of tubing to the pilot's cockpit.
Pitot Tube A tube with an open end, exposed to the airstream. This is part of an airspeed indicator.
Port The left side (looking forward) of the aircraft.

Pitot Tube - On long flights, something into which the pilot can pitot.
Prop Wash - 1. Cleaning agent used by student pilots. 2. Pilots' equivalent of "hogwash." ...
The Pitot tube is used to find the airspeed of the aircraft, while the Static Port is used to calibrate all of the instruments. These instruments work in unison to feed information to the gauges in the cockpit of the aircraft.

The airspeed is derived from the difference between the ram air pressure from the pitot tube, or stagnation pressure, and the static pressure.
1" gave the airplane gyros, external and internal lighting, dual brakes, one (then) King nav/com and transponder, an ELT, and a heated pitot tube — for a total price of $19,730.
pitot tubes, static ports, tires, etc. must all be covered. Be sure to use a good quality butcher paper to cover these items. Do not use newspaper, the print will often come off onto your airplane's surface.
