Is heated pitot an IFR requirement under Part 91 ?

Post by rudymantel »

I was recently told that a heated pitot is a legal IFR requirement under Part 91. I know it is under 135 but haven't found it for Part 91. Can someone please enlighten me ?

NO it's not required for 91 IFR see 91.205 (d)

Bruce, many thanks- good to know I've been legal (or haven't been illegal) without a heated pitot.
