Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Is there someone who has never forgotten to turn on the pitot heat???????? I know that I have and, on rare occasions, I still do. I really like the idea of an auto-on system that functions automatically. Would I remember to select that feature? Probably.???! Sometimes??? Who knows?????. Anyway, us old folks seem to need all the help that they can get. In that regard, I put my pitot switch next to the position- light/strobe switch. The thinking was that if I remember to turn off the strobes in IMC, I would remember to turn on the pitot heat, and viceversa. The strobes flashing in IMC can get pretty annoying real fast, especially at night Anyone have any other thoughts???? Regards, Bill Hogarty (80% paint and never again)
