I’ll probably get roasted, toasted
and slammed for this but what the hell.
Sure and why don’t you just build
and fly two airplanes in case one doesn’t work you have the other. Sorry
but I just couldn’t resist that. For God’s sake man, how much redundancy
do you really need? If you’re really afraid of this happening maybe you
shouldn’t be in aviation. There are risks. Accept a little and don’t
worry about every little thing that can go wrong.

Subject: Pitot System and AOA
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.
