The invention relates to a method and device for detecting, on the ground, the obstruction of a pressure tap of a static pressure sensor of an aircraft. The device (1) comprises a pressure sensor (2) provided for measuring the pressure inside a probe (4), which has a heating system (9) for heating the probe (4) and which, when the heating system (9) is activated, carries out a first measurement of at least one parameter dependent on the pressure inside the probe (4), and a predetermined duration after the activation of the heating system (9), carries out a second measurement of said parameter. The inventive device also comprises at least one central processing unit (11) for calculating the difference between the first and second measurements and for comparing this difference to a predetermined value, and comprises warning means (13) for emitting a warning signal indicating the detection of an obstruction if the difference is greater than said predetermined value.

Procédé et dispositif pour détecter au sol l'obstruction d'une prise de pression d'un capteur de pression statique d'un aéronef. Le dispositif (1) comporte un capteur de pression (2) qui est susceptible de mesurer la pression à l'intérieur d'une sonde (4), qui comprend un système de chauffage (9) susceptible de chauffer ladite sonde (4) et qui réalise lors de l'activation du système de chauffage (9), une première mesure d'au moins un paramètre dépendant de la pression à l'intérieur de la sonde (4), et une durée prédéterminée après cette activation du système de chauffage (9), une seconde mesure dudit paramètre, au moins une unité centrale (11) pour calculer la différence entre lesdites première et seconde mesures et comparer cette différence à une valeur prédéterminée, et des moyens d'alerte (13) pour émettre un signal d'alerte signalant la détection d'une obstruction, si ladite différence est supérieure à ladite valeur prédéterminée.
