I was thinking more of a covered pitot that's deployable at a later date, thus avoiding being taped over by mechanics or potentially susceptible to icing conditions. Hence the suggestion of the RAT (where it could be droppable into the airstream ahead of the propeller) but generally it could be under any specific flap that could be deployable from the cockpit in times of monitoring disagrees etc.
