Airbus has had problems with ice in the pitot tube. Air France was one example

Is that possible? An unheated pitot tube on a modern jetliner?

The pitot tubes are heated though. I remember burning my hand on one. I have no idea if the pitot heat has to be manually turned on in the Airbus aircraft. If I remember correctly it was manual I the A-6 and auto on the F/A-18, but its been a while. This is an interesting point for sure.
