John -
I have not seen nor heard of anyone installing a second pitot tube; although we did install a second static port and systen for the Tru Trak AP. If I had to do it over again, it is just as easy to install the second pitot tube. Aside from the engine itself, this is the most glaring single point failure and the cheaper system to install a duplicate - assuming, of course, that one has dual batteries and dual alternators (which we do have on our ES) :-))
Go for it.
Cheers,
John Schroeder

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.
