Q

What is the function of the automatic ice detection system?

A

It senses the existence of icing conditions and provides signals to control the engine, wing, and pack inlet anti-ice

The system uses two icing condition detectors that measure liquid water content.

Q

What does the engine anti-ice system use to provide protection?

A

Bleed air

The engine anti-ice system provides ice protection for the engine core and cowl inlet.

27
Q

When can the engine anti-ice system be operated?

A

In flight or on the ground

28
Q

How is engine anti-ice indication displayed?

A

Above the EICAS N1 indication

This indicates when an engine anti-ice valve is open.

29
Q

What allows the remaining engine anti-ice system to operate if one engine is shutdown?

A

Identical, independent anti-ice systems

Each engine has its own system that operates independently.

30
Q

What happens when the ENGINE ANTI-ICE selector is in AUTO during flight?

A

Operation is automatic

The system will automatically open valves when icing conditions are detected.

31
Q

What occurs when icing conditions are no longer detected?

A

Engine anti-ice valves close

Bleed air is no longer supplied to the engine core and inlet cowl.

32
Q

Is automatic operation of the engine anti-ice system enabled on the ground?

A

No

33
Q

What does the ice detection system use to determine total air temperature?

A

A combination of temperature sources

THE REFERENCE TEMP MAY BE DIFFERENT TO THE DISPLAYED TAT

34
Q

What happens when the ENGINE ANTI-ICE selector is ON?

A

Bleed air opens the engine anti-ice valves

AIR SUPPLIED TO THE ENGINE CORE AND INLET COWL

35
Q

When do engine anti-ice valves close automatically?

A

During start, bleed air overtemperature, bleed air overpressure, engine fire switch pulled, or bleed air leak detected

36
Q

What does the GE engine EEC do to help prevent engine icing?

A

Automatically adjusts idle

This adjustment helps mitigate adverse engine effects during Ice Crystal Icing conditions.

37
Q

What is the primary function of the GE engine EEC regarding engine icing?

A

Automatically adjusts idle to help prevent engine icing and mitigate engine effects during Ice Crystal Icing conditions.

38
Q

What happens when an anti-ice duct leak is detected?

A

The respective engine anti-ice valves close.

39
Q

What powers the thermal anti-icing mats on the leading edge slats of each wing?

A

The electric wing anti-ice system.

40
Q

When is wing anti-ice inhibited on the ground?

A

Below 75 knots.

41
Q

How long may wing anti-ice be momentarily shed during high electrical loads?

A

30 seconds maximum.

42
Q

What occurs if one wing anti-ice thermal mat fails?

A

The opposite thermal mat is automatically de-powered to prevent asymmetrical wing icing.

43
Q

Where is the wing anti-ice annunciation displayed?

A

Below the EICAS N1 indication.

44
Q

In flight, what does the WING ANTI-ICE selector in AUTO mode do?

A

Automatically powers the wing anti-ice system when icing conditions are detected.

45
Q

What occurs during the clean-up cycle of the wing anti-ice system?

A

Continues to provide electrical power to heated slats to clear residual ice.

46
Q

When is automatic wing anti-ice operation available?

A

In flight and on the ground above 75 knots airspeed.

47
Q

In flight with the WING ANTI-ICE selector ON, when is the system powered?

A

Any time TAT is below 25° C.

48
Q

How does engine or wing anti-ice use affect stick shaker logic?

FLAPS OUT OF UP

A

Increases stick shaker speed and minimum manoeuvring speed, reducing manoeuvre margin.

49
Q

What conditions return stick shaker logic to normal after anti-ice use?

A

No icing conditions detected for a certain time and TAT greater than 10° C, or when the airplane lands.

50
Q

What effect does engine or wing anti-ice have on manoeuvre margin with flaps out of up?

A

It modifies stick shaker logic, increasing stick shaker speed and minimum manoeuvring speed, reducing manoeuvre margin to stick shaker.

51
Q

What is the effect of engine or wing anti-ice on stick shaker speed with flaps up?

A

There is no effect on stick shaker speed and minimum manoeuvring speed.

52
Q

What does the pack inlet anti-ice system provide protection for?

A

Ice protection for both ram air inlets for the cabin air compressors.

53
Q

How does the pack inlet anti-ice system prevent ice formation?

A

An electric heater on the leading edge of each inlet prevents ice formation and reduces ice formation in the duct.

54
Q

When does the pack inlet anti-ice system operate?

A

Automatically with signals from the automatic ice detection system, inhibited on the ground and when TAT is above 10° C.

55
Q

What type of heating is provided for flight deck windows?

A

All flight deck windows are electrically heated.

56
Q

What protection do the forward windows have?

A

Exterior surface anti-icing and interior surface antifogging protection.

57
Q

What protection do the side windows have?

A

Interior surface antifogging protection only.

58
Q

What happens when the BACKUP L FWD and R FWD switches are in the ON position?

A

A backup antifogging system for the forward windows operates automatically if the primary system fails.

59
Q

How are the windshield wipers controlled?

A

Independently controlled with three-speed settings.

60
Q

What occurs if windshield wipers are used on a dry windshield surface?

A

Windshield scratching may occur.

61
Q

When does the probe heat system provide anti-ice protection?

A

When either engine is operating.

62
Q

How many pitot probes are electrically heated for anti-ice protection?

A

Three pitot probes and two angle of attack probes.

63
Q

What additional probe is electrically heated for anti-ice protection in flight?

A

The total air temperature probe.
