Dozy, et al.,

What, in the end, are the differences between the Thales (AA and AB) and Goodrich probes?

AFAIK, all of them are still being qualified/certified against an obsolete standard, and so far I still have NOT seen any 'news' about the standard itself actually having been updated/improved, to take into account the environment that AF447 encountered.

I have the impression that too many people here prefer to 'blame' the UAS events and the pitots, instead of thinking the issue through.

Why weren't the standards changed, after the first UAS incidents due to hi-alt pitot tube icing occurred? Whose responsability was that?
