A method of detecting blockage of a pitot tube includes measuring a pitot tube temperature via one or more temperature sensors located inside a pitot tube, measuring an outside ambient air temperature, comparing the measured pitot tube temperature to a minimum pitot tube temperature threshold for the measured outside ambient air temperature, and determining the pitot tube has a blockage condition when the measured pitot tube temperature is below the minimum pitot tube temperature threshold.
