Greetings,
 
I will have an AOA in my Legacy. 
 
That said, I am concerned that if for some reason my pitot tube gets blocked by something like an insect, bird, or other debris, my airspeed indicator will probably be giving me an erroneous reading. 
 
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 pitot source?  And could one tie both pitot tube together so that if one was blocked, the other would continue to provide pitot pressure?
 
Thank you in advance for your input.
 
John Kleber
