Greetings,

I will have an AOA in my Legacy.

That said, I am concerned that if for some reason my pitot tub= e=20 gets blocked by something like an insect, bird, or other debris, my airspee= d=20 indicator will probably be giving me an erroneous reading. <= /DIV>

Would not this error also be reflected in the AOA?

Therefore, would it not be a good idea to have the AOA on its = own=20 pitot source? And could one tie both pitot tube together so that if o= ne=20 was blocked, the other would continue to provide pitot pressure?

Thank you in advance for your input.

John Kleber
