The heating elements - there are 2 in the pitot tube - are supposedly

is replaced you are supposed to re-do the transponder/IFR cal as you are
"opening the static system".

They are repairable. The older ones need to be drilled out, the newer
ones are easily removed and replaced. I've done both. Airparts of
Lockhaven is the right place to go......After you check the electrical
like everyone else has stated.
