PITOT FAULTS
A few observations:
Murphy’ Law applies - if something can happen it will happen !
( I seem to recall over the years more than one incident when PITOT covers had NOT been removed prior to T/O !! )
In my experience as a flight simulator instructor ( albeit RAF ) crew reaction to pitot /static faults were handled worse than any other emergency - especially when sneakily inserted when the crew were distracted by something else.
With an increasing airspeed it is very tempting to take off power and raise the nose leading to dangerously low actual airspeed.
Conversely with a reducing airspeed the natural reaction is to put on power and lower the nose leading to a dangerously high airspeed.
The TOP TIP was always to set a sensible power setting and attitude , sit on hands and resolve the fault in slow time.
A good airspeed check was always SOP on T/O and if a serious discrepancy was picked up the T/O should be ABORTED at about 100kts - well below V1.
