Is there any way to test the pitots for function before takeoff and perhaps during flight? Presumably pressurizing the lines and monitoring how long the pulse of pressure takes to decay would give warning if the system were obstructed.
It would obviously be a huge complication on something inherently pretty simple, but pitot problems seem to still be an accident factor.
