That's the right code(as you see below). It's a little tricky, I couldn't get it to work at first either. Put it in again by typing [img] then paste in the code, then [/img]. It should work.

I think it is pitot heat not pilot heat that you are asking about. I also made this mistake, but read more closely and found out.

If Radarman couldn't help you with 'Pilot heat' than that's due to the fact that Pilot heat is not part of any vocabulary.
Pitot heat on the other hand has a meaning in aviation and this has been pointed out to you on several occasions in this thread alone. If you can't be bothered reading up on this and thus answering your own initial question, then I suggest you join the rapidly growing club of those who prefer to grope in the dark rather than getting an answer to their questions.

Oh, the dark ages all over again.

Pitot heat- The pitot heat switch controls a small heating element contained within the pitot tube. This is used to prevent ice accumulation that would block the small opening of the pitot tube and cause the airspeed indicator to read zero in flight. Pitot heat is used when flying through visible moisture with a outside temperature(OAT) of 32 degrees/0 degrees centigrade or less. Jet aircraft normally fly with the pitot heat on at all times. 🙂

See Radarmans link for definition of Pitot tube.
