Discussion
Which of the following would not reduce the risk of a pitot icing failure?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Selecting the alternate static source
The alternate static source addresses a blocked static port, not a blocked pitot. If the pitot has iced over, switching the static source changes nothing about the total pressure line where the fault lies. The other three all bear on the pitot: heat applied before entering icing conditions, a checklist that ensures it is applied, and a cross-check of airspeed against attitude and power that catches the failure early.
