Hi
My ten cents contribution for this serious incident.
The data recording begins a few minutes after take-off:
the air speed seems to be 200 kts and and the altitude of the plane is about 1500 feet.
The recorded crazy parameters duration is 53 minutes.

Wouldn't it prevent nesting if the heat was kept on during turn arounds?
It would do for sure .
But probes anti-ice is not designed for that use .

Quoting me that way suggests that I wrote something wrong .
Just saying that probes supplied with 115v on ground will keep the bugs away ...
For sure there will be some collateral damage

The emergency pressurization vent on the G1 was a narrow funnel-shaped opening below the RH cockpit sliding window. There is a little plug that can be installed to block it, but I've never heard of anyone using the thing, on overnight stays anyway. Part of the walk around involves peering into the opening with a flashlight to see if it is obstructed. One morning in Hot Springs VA there was another G1 parked beside ours, and the other F/O and I were doing our walk arounds at the same time. Suddenly there was a loud yell and much foul language from the direction of the other aircraft. Seems the other walk arounder had peered into the vent, saw something moving and without giving it too much thought stuck a forefinger into the hole. Overnight a little mud dauber had decided to build her nest in the vent and took umbrage at the invader.

I am a humble C152 driver, but here is a thought - put a length of cord on the end of the pitot tube cover, enough to reach just about the ground; install cover when at the gate, no ladder needed when you depart; the pilot doing the preflight inspection removes them by pulling the cord.
