Got a Call from FSDO Today..

[AKBill]

Got a call from the local FSDO today. I aborted a take off last Sunday because I had no airspeed indication when the plane was ready to rotate. Ice in the pito tube. The tube had a cover on it and it was removed prior to flight.

I heated the tube and cleared the blockage and took off no problems. I did check the tube prior to the flight and it looked good.

Nice chat with Matthew from FSDO, just never had FSDO call me for an aborted take off before.

So you had the pitot cover on or it was iced up? Whats the rest of the story?

I think the OP stated the cover was removed prior to flight.
