Default Verification that Heated Pitot is working

The far more important question is: why would anyone fly a cozy into icing

Why would you have a heated pitot on a Cessna 172 or a piper arrow then?
Neither of THEM are certified for entry into known icing conditions, but
its nice to have the ability to safely fly OUT of them if you get INTO them.
