Which anti-ice systems are controlled by automatic ice detection?
Engine, wing and pack inlet anti-ice
When are the ice detectors heated?
They are electrically heated after engine start
What is the heat source for engine anti-ice?
Bleed air
Which section of the engine is de-iced?
Engine core & cowl inlet
Can engine anti-ice be used on the ground?
Yes, in MANUAL mode
What indicates that engine anti-ice is on?
EAI is displayed above the EICAS N1 indication
What happens to the engine idle setting when engine anti-ice is on?

If there is a leak in the engine anti-ice…
b. what is the automatic action?
b. Engine anti-ice valve closes.
If there is a leak in the engine anti-ice…
c. what is the indication?
c. EICAS message ANTI-ICE LEAK ENG L, R.
What is the heat source for wing anti-ice?
Electrically powered thermal anti-icing mats
Which areas are anti-iced on the wing?
Four midwing leading edge slats on each wing
When is automatic wing anti-ice available?
In flight and on the ground above 75kts
What happens if a wing anti-ice thermal mat fails?
The system automatically de-powers the opposite thermal mat to prevent asymmetrical wing icing.
What is the cockpit indication when wing anti-ice is operating?
WAI is displayed below the EICAS N1 indication
With flaps out of up and engine or wing anti-ice ON, what happens to the stick shaker logic?
Stick shaker speed and minimum maneuvering speed is increased. This reduces maneuver margin to stick shaker.
