Bleed Air

page 3.20.5

49
Q

what does the Wing Anti-Ice system not provide protection for ?

A

the leading edge flaps or the outboard leading edge slats.

page 3.20.4

50
Q

are the wing anti-ice control valves AC or DC motored ?

A

AC

page 3.30.5

51
Q

how does the Wing anti-Ice System work ?

A

With a valve open, bleed air flows to the three leading edge inboard slats, and is then exhausted overboard

page 3.20.4

52
Q

is the wing anti-ice system effective with the three leading edge slats in any position ?

A

YES

page 3.20.5

53
Q

when on the ground, after positioning the WING ANTI-ICE switch ON, what are the minimum parameters for both control valves to open ?

A
  • thrust on both engines has to be below the setting for takeoff warning activation,

and

  • the temperature inside both wing distribution ducts has to be less than the thermal switch activation temperature

the valves will otherwise stay close

page 3.20.5

54
Q

what happens to the WING ANTI-ICE if selected ON but with the air/ground sensor in the ground mode ?

A

the switch remains in the ON position regardless of control valve position.

page 3.20.6

55
Q

when at lift-off the air/ground sensor goes on Air Mode, what would happen to the WING ANTI-ICE switch ?

A

automatically trips OFF

page 3.20.6

56
Q

what happens when during flight the WING ANTI-ICE switch is positionated ON ?

A
  • opens both control valves
  • sets stall warning logic for icing conditions.
  • MIN Va set on ASI
  • FMC VREF not adjusted automatically
  • STICK SHAKER remains in ICING position througout the flight regardeless of subsequent WING ANTI-ICE switch position

page 3.20.6

57
Q

when the WING ANTI-ICE is ON the Stall Warning Logic is adjusted for icing conditions, as a consequence what does the stall warning logic adjust ?

A
  • adjusts stick shaker
  • MIN Va bars on airspeed indications.
  • FMC displayed VREF is not adjusted automatically.

page 3.20.4

58
Q

if the WING ANTI-ICE switch is changed position after that the stall warning logic has been adjusted for icing conditions will it stays that way ?

A

YES

page 3.20.6

59
Q

why do duct temperature and thrust settings have no effect on control valve operation in flight ?

A

because they are disabled
