So...
Flying in a bit of moister of the past couple trips. One trip rained the entire flight, well above freezing, and the other was just light snow for a small portion of the flight.
After sitting outside for a couple days, well below freezing for the first time this winter, I had a blocked pitot line and/or tube. No IAS, during subsequent flight.
Not sure how the pitot line got blocked with water but it did. After sitting in my hanger 40+F for a few hours, I disconnected the line on both sides and blew it out.
I have a heated GAP26 (unregulated). The GAP 26 has internal baffling and drains for moisture protection.
Any thoughts on why this would happen?
