Why is the Pitot & TAT Cover Kit A320 so crucial for your fleet?
When operating narrowbody aircraft like the Airbus A320 family, protecting the air data sensors (Windshield and Nose-mounted Pitot probes and Total Air Temperature probes) is vital for flight deck safety. Unprotected sensors on the ramp are highly vulnerable to insects nesting inside orifices, moisture intrusion, and micro-abrasions from sand and dust.
Leaving nose instrumentation exposed is a serious flight risk that can cause incorrect airspeed or temperature readings. Every Pitot & TAT Cover A320 manufactured by INDAERO is handcrafted from aramid/Kevlar fabrics that withstand extreme cockpit ground heat tests without melting, preventing severe probe damage or cockpit panel alerts before takeoff.
-
Prevents catastrophic sensor blockage from mud daubers, wasps, and grit.
-
Fabricated from aramid technical textiles that withstand extreme ground heating without melting.
-
Non-abrasive backing safeguards the aerodynamic polished finish of nose instrumentation.
-
Equipped with integrated, high-visibility “Remove Before Flight” warning streamers.
The Dangers of Unprotected Sensors
Without a certified Pitot & TAT Cover Kit A320, your nose air data sensors are exposed to severe atmospheric, thermal, and biological threats.
Accidental Ground Heating
Nose probes can accidentally have their electrical heating loops activated during ground tests or cockpit prep. Generic vinyl or plastic covers will immediately melt and fuse onto the heated metal probe, destroying the air data sensor. Our aramid covers withstand up to 450°C without melting.
Moisture Intrusion & Corrosion
Unsealed TAT or Pitot tubes let rain, frost, and high-humidity morning dew seep into internal sensor chambers. When high-altitude freezing occurs, the trapped water blocks internal sensor lines, generating critical system errors during flight. Our water-resistant coatings prevent liquid entry.
Insect Nesting (FOD)
The Pitot & TAT Covers A320 completely block out mud daubers, nesting insects, and wind-blown ramp debris (FOD). Mud daubers are attracted to instrument orifices and can completely block them with mud nests in a few hours, resulting in erratic cockpit airspeed indications.
The True Cost of Inaction
Avoid expensive air data instrument overhauls. Select a scenario below to see the estimated financial risk of leaving an A320 nose sensor exposed on the tarmac for just a few weeks.
1. Rejected Takeoff (RTO) Airspeed Discrepancy
Blocked or contaminated pitot tubes cause erroneous airspeed readings during takeoff, triggering a high-risk high-speed Rejected Takeoff (RTO).
2. Heated Probe Melting & Replacement
Cockpit probe heaters are accidentally activated on the ground during maintenance, melting cheap covers directly onto the probe and requiring full sensor replacement.
3. Moisture Intrusion & Internal Corrosion
Water or frost seeping into TAT and Pitot inlets corrodes internal sensor elements, resulting in premature transducer failures.
Select a risk scenario to calculate the potential financial impact.
