17
Q

Arcing in an electrically heated windshield panel usually indicates a breakdown in the

A

conductive coating

18
Q

Which of the following connects vacuum to the deicer boots when the systems is not in operation, to hold the boots tightly against the leading edges in flight?

A

Distributor valve

19
Q

How do deicer boots help remove ice accumulations?

A

By breaking up ice formations

20
Q

Why are the tubes in deicer boots alternatively inflated?

A

Alternate inflation of deicer boots tubes keeps disturbance of the airflow to a minimum

21
Q

What system components aids in the prevention of carburetor icing?

A

Alcohol injection nozzle (could say heated induction air)

22
Q

Why should a chemical rain repellent not be used on a dry windshield?

A

It will restrict visibility

23
Q

What is the principle characteristic of a windshield pneumatic rain removal system?

A

An airblast forms a barrier that prevents rain drops from striking the windshield surface

24
Q

What mixture may be used as a deicing fluid to remove from form an aircraft surface?

A

Ethylene glycol and isopropyl alcohol

25
Q

Which of the following is the best means to use when removing wet snow from an aircraft?

A

A brush or squeegee

26
Q

What are three methods of anti icing aircraft windshields?

A

An electric heating element in the windshield, heated air circulating system, and windshield wipers and anti-icing fluid

27
Q

Using hot water or steam directly on plastic windshields for heating is likely to cause

A

the acrylic to become milky or cloudy

28
Q

What icing condition may occur when there is no moisture present?

A

Carburetor ice

29
Q

What should be used to melt the ice in a turbine engine if the compressor is immobile because of ice?

A

Hot air

30
Q

What is used as a temp sensing element in an electrically heated windshield?

A

Thermistor

31
Q

In what area of an aircraft would you find a carbon monoxide detector?

A

Cabin and Cockpt

32
Q

What occurs when a visual smoke detector is activated?

A

A lamp within the indicator illuminates automatically
