Forgetting to remove a faded, dull and worn-out pitot tube cover can jeopardize the safety of you and your passengers. And when cold weather prevents you from installing your pinch-and-insert style blade pitot cover, ice and snow can contaminate your pitot system. Some blade pitot covers also cause damage to paint when the sleeve is being forced on and off. The highly conspicuous and very durable Plane Sights Blade Pitot Cover is a perfect fit for any aircraft with a blade-type pitot tube or Piper gear extension mast.
