Male pilots are always located in the cockpit.
For female pilots it has been renamed the box office."
    @nickcostin1: "Hahahahahahahahahaha.........You don't know what a pitot is do you?
sigh......anyone know where a piTot is situated? ..... when do they start to 
work?...... Oh alright then......at what airspeed do they start to function 
usefully / accurately.... or even .....when does the down wash have no 
effect of the pitot.

    @luv2fly99: "Aaaaagh, that's what I get for trying to answer without my glasses. I 
thought it said pilot, and was wondering why you were asking about the 
static port too.
I recall two different locations in my limited experience. Seems like the 
Huey's and larger birds often had a long pitot straight out the front in to 
clean air, maybe as much as 18 to 24 inches long, and very much horizontal 
with the air flow. But I also think I recall seeing at least a few Jet 
Rangers that had a 90 degree mount, about 3 inches from the cabin, and 
pointed down the center of the windshield, paralell with the windshield, and 
about 45 degrees or so to the horizontal. Obviously placed to measure flow 
up the windshield after deflection from the nose of the aircraft.
I don't recall the location of their static ports, but every one I have ever 
seen has always been on the side of the cabin, 90 degrees to the slip 
stream. But again my knowlege is somewhat limited. I'm just a fixed wing 
pilot, that loves helos.

    @noahbody: "The pitot is useful at about any speed as long as youre going forward. It 
might not be totally accurate at low speed, but its all relatve anyways.
