A repairable pitot static tube which provides for replacement of the internal heating elements and other components parts. The heating elements may be accessed from either end of the barrel portion of the pitot static tube and repairs may be done either with the pitot static tube in place on an aircraft or removed from the aircraft. The end cap of the barrel portion is also made removable to provide access to the heater from both ends as well as to replace defective end caps to salvage damaged pitot static tubes.
