Q

Where does rime ice build up compared to clear ice?

A

Rime ice - immediately freeze on leading edge only

Clear ice - begins on leading edge and move onto aft surface

Q

How does the aerofoil De icing rubber boots work?

A

. Uses de icing rubber boots at leading edges of wings and stab.
Rubber boots inflate, cracking the ice and ice gets blown away

Q

What happens when the electronic ice detector detects ice?

A

Generates a message to cockpit and can automatically activate the thermal anti ice systems

18
Q

How does an electronic ice detector work?

A

Tip vibrates at a certain frequency, when ice builds up the probe becomes heavier and vibration reduces.
This gets noticed and activates heating unit ice melts and original frequency has returned. Then turned off

19
Q

How do you prevent blockages in air data probes?

A

A probe heat system

20
Q

How do you prevent ice on windshield?

A

An electrical heat system

21
Q

How do you prevent frozen water lines?

A

A line and drain mast heat system

22
Q

Where are the two thermal anti ice systems are installed in jet aircraft?

A

. The wing
. The engine

23
Q

How does hot air get to the wing for anti icing?

A

Through small holes in the anti ice duct

24
Q

When the wing leading edge has slats what type of anti ice ducts do we need to use?

A

Telescopic ducts

25
Q

Where does the anti ice system get its air from?

A

Bleed air

26
Q

How many switches does the wing anti ice system have?

A

1 as they need to be run at the same time to keep weight symmetry

27
Q

Can wing anti ice operate on the ground?

A

No, only during flight

28
Q

What type of valves are used in the engine and wing anti ice systems?

A

Solenoid controlled pressure valves

29
Q

What type of function do all thermal anti ice valves have for safety a.

A

Manual override function

30
Q

What is special about engine anti ice solenoid controlled valve?

A

It is fail safe to open when there is no electrical power

31
Q

When will the fault light illuminate for a pressure regulating valve?

A

When you switch in wing anti ice button and the pressure doesn’t reach 14 psi

32
Q

What is the purpose of the drain mast heat system?

A

Prevent freezing of the waste water outlets on the lower part of fuselage

33
Q

How many different types of probes are there on an aircraft?

A

4

34
Q

What are the 4 different types of probes on an aircraft?

A

. Temperature
. Pitot
. Static
. Angle of attack

35
Q

What is another name for chemical anti ice holes in the wings and stabs?

A

Weeping wing systems

36
Q

If using de ice boots on turbine engine aircraft where does the air come from?

A

Bleed air

37
Q

Why are windows 1,2 and 3 heated?

A

1 = prevent ice
2 and 3 = prevent misting

38
Q

By using rain repellent what is the contact angle between water and glass?

A

More than 80 degrees

39
Q

How many different speeds does the windscreen wiper have?

A

2

40
Q

When should you never switch on wipers?

A

Over 250 knots
When not wet

41
Q

How long chemical anti ice for work?

A

1-2 hours

42
Q

How many holes per inch TKS?

A

800
