  • $\begingroup$ You're welcome. I understand it's not always easy finding the related post, that's why I pointed it out. After pointing it out, did it answer the question? It's happened before. Note that accepting the proposed duplicate does not delete your question. A duplicate is not a bad thing, your post can serve as a sign-post. Each plane has those static ports, so you can imagine the question repeating itself. $\endgroup$
