I have been flying a 320 for 3 years in a damp and foggy area(Northern

Calif) and have always had the same experience with a fogged up canopy. It

begins to fog up just after closing the canopy and proceeds to worsen thru

run-up. A cloth is needed to get enough visibility to taxi. Immediately

upon adding power for takeoff, it starts to clear and by lift-of the canopy

is completely clear. This is due to the increased air movement in the very

untight cabin. In my opinion, defrosting is definately not worth the least

amount of time or effort.
