The invention relates to a probe (10) for measuring the total pressure of a flow and a method for implementing the probe (10). The probe (10) is intended to be fitted on an aircraft. The probe (10) comprises a Pitot tube (14) and means (22) for heating the probe assembly (10). According to the invention, the probe (10) also comprises means (38) for measuring a local temperature of a nose (37) of the Pitot tube (14) independently of an average temperature of the probe (10). According to the method, if the temperature delivered by the means (38) for measuring a local temperature of the nose (37) is less than the first reference temperature (T0), then an additional heating of the nose (37) is triggered until a delivered temperature is reached that is at least equal to a second reference temperature (T1) greater than the first reference temperature (T0).
