A pitot tube cover that is arranged with a cavity to encompass the pitot tube, a central vertical split separates the cover and allows it to separate from the pitot tube. A wind surfaces channel the wind into the split, and a spring holds the cover onto the pitot tube. Once the aircraft reaches a predetermined speed, the wind is forced by the front angled wind surfaces into the split, thus separating the cover from the pitot tube and exposing the tube's opening to the oncoming wind pressure.
