I once took off with my pitot tube covered. I didn’t even notice while taking off it wasn’t until I was 100ft agl when I scanned my instruments and realized my airspeed indicator was dead. After a split second freak out I realized I had gotten here based on external indicators. So I calmly went right back into the pattern and landed using purely sound, wing angle, visual reference, and muscle memory.
