Those that have and those that will...
Been there done that. It was my first trip with a passenger after passing my checkride. I departed MVY and the ASI did come alive, but a little later than usual. It got up to 50 kias and would not go any higher, but I was obviously going much faster. I rotated and took off like a rocket since I was really far above Vr. I pushed the nose down to try to get the ASI to indicate higher but it wouldn't go above 55. Then I looked over and noticed the red cover on the pitot tube. I told tower, "I need to make this closed pattern" and he immediately cleared me to land. The pitot cover was thick nylon and didn't look porous at all, so I'm very surprised the ASI came alive at all and got up to 55 kias.
@Dave Theisen was this you?????
Aww. I only had that happen when a bug plugged static with mud. Fortunately, my static line has a QD on the inside where the wings come off.Cant get in a heated hanger for a week to thaw pito. Worked good last weekend...
