My DAR requires a heated pitot and an indicator if I want my airplane
to be able to fly IFR. It is that simple. There is no need to discuss
whether the FARs require this under Part 91.205(c) because my DAR
interprets it to include it and won't change his mind.

On our campus one of the mechanics has this neat infrared reader device he
bought from the Snap-On man. You point it at anything, like a warm pitot
tube, or a black Cadillac in the sun, or a cold cylinder, and get a
temperature reading.

Otherwise, fly through known ice and see if it works.

Check the contacts for resistance?
