Narrative:

Aircraft was flown from airport a to airport B with the pitot covers inadvertently left on. It was a short flight and destination airport was VFR. Aircraft was flown with ground speed, power settings, fuel flow. A landing was made without incident. The problem arose because the crew was interrupted during the preflight inspection by passenger arriving early. The original scheduled flight time had been pushed up 3 hours as soon as possible. The problem was not discovered until rotation at liftoff due to the airspeed indicators fluctuating during the takeoff roll. One crew member allowed himself to be distracted from the primary flight duties being performed. There were no abnormal indications during start-up on taxi.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A CPR FALCON 50 FLEW WITH ITS PITOT COVERS INSTALLED.

Narrative: ACFT WAS FLOWN FROM ARPT A TO ARPT B WITH THE PITOT COVERS INADVERTENTLY LEFT ON. IT WAS A SHORT FLT AND DEST ARPT WAS VFR. ACFT WAS FLOWN WITH GND SPD, PWR SETTINGS, FUEL FLOW. A LNDG WAS MADE WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE PROB AROSE BECAUSE THE CREW WAS INTERRUPTED DURING THE PREFLT INSPECTION BY PAX ARRIVING EARLY. THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULED FLT TIME HAD BEEN PUSHED UP 3 HRS ASAP. THE PROB WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL ROTATION AT LIFTOFF DUE TO THE AIRSPD INDICATORS FLUCTUATING DURING THE TKOF ROLL. ONE CREW MEMBER ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE DISTRACTED FROM THE PRIMARY FLT DUTIES BEING PERFORMED. THERE WERE NO ABNORMAL INDICATIONS DURING START-UP ON TAXI.
