My ode to a special Valentine…
The pitot heat switch isn’t very conveniently located on a Cessna Citation CJ1. For that matter, it’s in the same awkward place on the CJ2 and CJ3. The time limit for pitot heat on the ground is two minutes, so remembering to turn it off upon landing can get lost in a flurry of taxi instructions. Then there are flaps to retract, windshield heat, ignition and anti-collision lights to turn off. Oh, and switch landing lights to “taxi only.”
