I’m not qualified on the D model but I recall that the S76s I flew (A+, B, C & C+, all SPIFR) all had dual static systems, vented on each side of the tail cone, which were are heated same as the pitot system to prevent icing. I don’t recall there being a switch because in effect there was redundancy from the start.
