PLZ remember that USAF lost a B-2 on takeoff because of moisture/water in the air data sensor lines. Simple procedures were adopted and voila!

You can have the pitot heat on as early as you want but it won't prevent or melt ice further up stream. So it's possible to have moisture that freezes once the bird gets up and with cold air flowing thru the tubes.

I am having a hard time with the gees as well as the power/pitch procedures.
