Original Quote by Winnerhofer: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
This pitot tube icing issue was gone over in detail several times in the early AF 447 Threads.
Information was available to airbus pilots explaining UAS as resulting from pitot tube icing starting with the A-300-600:
Now, specifically as applying to the A-330 and A-340:
It seems to me, emphasis has been placed on pitot tube icing by both Airbus and Boeing, specifically at high altitudes and high speed. Additionally, training of this situation by airlines together with safety organizations certainly has made flight crews more aware of procedures to be followed when UAS happens, lesson learned from AF-447.
You should keep in mind that UAS resulting from pitot tube icing is a temporary situation that self corrects given the opportunity, 30+ Airbus flight crews proved that point, 1 did not.
Back to the peanut gallery…
