The S201 may optionally be equipped by a Heated pitot tube.
In this case, a “PITOT” switch is located in the right of the switch line on the
instrument panel, as well as the corresponding Circuit Breaker.
The Pitot switch can be used safely once the engine is running above 3000 RPM
and both alternators are on and operative, otherwise it may deplete the battery
due to its high electrical power consumption.
When flying in cold and moist weather condition, it is recommended to switch
the pitot heater on to avoid pitot icing. Icing can be recognized by an indicated
airspeed increase in level flight without increasing throttle.
In case of icing, switching the pitot heat should be sufficient to eliminate ice from
the pitot tube.
After landing, it is recommended to switch off the pitot as soon as possible to
avoid unnecessary current consumption and cool down the pitot tube before
installing the pitot cover.
WARNING
The optional Heated Pitot does not allow Flight into known icing
condition!
CAUTION
Avoid touching the pitot tube with bare hands when pitot heat is on as
you may suffer of skin burn.
NOTE
Ensure pitot tube is cooled down after flight before installing pitot cover
