A heating apparatus for use in an AoA sensor is described herein. The heating apparatus includes a heating element bonded to a support element. The support element is configured to be attachable to and removable from the AoA sensor. The heating element may receive an electrical current, causing the temperature of the heating element to increase. The temperature increase is designed to reduce the probability that ice forms in certain locations of the AoA sensor.
