Narrative:

Pitot static failure on missed approach procedure at bfa. Neither the static, nor breaking glass, were able to restore the instruments to normal. Declared emergency with ATC. ATC vectored aircraft for ILS approach at glr. ATC was advised that aircraft had no airspeed indicator, altimeter, or vsi. Aircraft could not descend stabilized to intercept GS at glr. Executed missed approach. ATC vectored tvc for ILS runway 28. Aircraft tracked localizer, but could not intercept GS until the LOM. Failure of airspeed, vsi, and altimeter made tracking GS difficult. I had visual contact with the ground 3/4 of the way down runway 28. Circled for a right base and landed runway 10 at tvc with no further incident.

Title: A P210 PLT DECLARED AN EMER AFTER LOSING ITS PITOT STATIC SYS NEAR BFA.

Narrative: PITOT STATIC FAILURE ON MISSED APCH PROC AT BFA. NEITHER THE STATIC, NOR BREAKING GLASS, WERE ABLE TO RESTORE THE INSTS TO NORMAL. DECLARED EMER WITH ATC. ATC VECTORED ACFT FOR ILS APCH AT GLR. ATC WAS ADVISED THAT ACFT HAD NO AIRSPD INDICATOR, ALTIMETER, OR VSI. ACFT COULD NOT DSND STABILIZED TO INTERCEPT GS AT GLR. EXECUTED MISSED APCH. ATC VECTORED TVC FOR ILS RWY 28. ACFT TRACKED LOC, BUT COULD NOT INTERCEPT GS UNTIL THE LOM. FAILURE OF AIRSPD, VSI, AND ALTIMETER MADE TRACKING GS DIFFICULT. I HAD VISUAL CONTACT WITH THE GND 3/4 OF THE WAY DOWN RWY 28. CIRCLED FOR A R BASE AND LANDED RWY 10 AT TVC WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT.
