Just curious if anyone has EVER heard of this happening.

yes, as a matter of fact i have. i heard of it happening at your airline a few years ago. i cant seem to remember if it was a mech or an FO that burned themselves on it the last time.

At least when you put the pilot heat on and the covers are on it burns through and they work perfect. Looks a little funky after you land though.

When I was working line I burned myself badly on a CL-604 pitot tube.


Didnt know the dam things got hot(was only 16). Grabbed on to it as soon as I choked the plane and wound up in the hospital with some really nasty burns on my hand.

One of my instructors smartly told me to use the back of my hand to check the pitot tube when the heat is on. Your first reaction is to pull your hand away, not grab on while you seethe in pain...

I had a student who would go out to preflight a c-172 and I can't count how many times he'd come back in with blood gushing from his head. It took him 200 hours just to solo. Go figure!!!!

"Cessna Stars" I wouldn't know anything about that.
