Q

Describe the the purpose of the Cowl ANTI-ICE system?

A

It prevents ice formation on the leading edges of the engine nacelles by ducting bleed air from engines, running it through insulated ducting and air mixing tubes which carry the bleed air to the inner wall of the engine cowl

Q

How does the COWL anti ice system detect a fault?

Q

what does “COWL A/I” advisory mean?

A

The LH and RH Cowl Anti-Ice valves are open

28
Q

What does L COWL A/I OPEN caution mean?

A

The Left cowl anti-ice valve failed to close.

29
Q

When will L/R COWL A/I DUCT caution be displayed?

A

When cowl duct pressure is less than 3.12 psi or greater than 53.1 psi with the battery bus powered.

30
Q

Where is the T2 probe? What is it used for?

A

On the engine cowling before the fan. It monitors temperature and sends it to FADEC to set respective engine parameters.

31
Q

FADEC

A

Full authority digital engine control

32
Q

Describe the anti-ice system for the T2 probes.

A

T2 probes have built in heating elements that are automatically controlled by FADEC.

33
Q

How do we test the T2 probe heating functions?

A

We don’t it’s done automatically by FADEC after LANDING and SHUTDOWN on the ground.

34
Q

After right engine shutdown, what should we do regarding the T2 Sensor Probe test?

A

Maintain power on the aircraft for a minimum of two minutes to allow FADEC to complete the test.

35
Q

If the T2 probe fails it’s test, how will we know?

A

R/L ENG TAT HEAT caution will be displayed

36
Q

What probes does the ADS Anti-ice system regulate?

A

L/R Pitot L/R Static L/R AOA STBY Pitot TAT Probe

37
Q

How many controllers make up the ADS Anti-Ice system and which one controls what?

A

3 controllers: 1st: L Pitot, Static and AOA 2nd: R Pitot, Static and AOA 3rd: Sby Pitot, TAT

38
Q

What are the different modes of the ADS anti-ice system?

A

GROUND and FLIGHT

39
Q

What are different running options for the GROUND mode of the ADS anti-ice system and the differences between each?

A

AUTOMATIC: Probes switches in OFF, all pitot probes heated 1/2 power, no AOA or static. MANUAL: Probes switches in ON, everything in automatic with AOA and Static ports heated.

40
Q

In flight mode of the ADS Anti-ice system what will happen if the probes are in the OFF position?

A

Controllers will automatically supply full power to all of the probes and sensors…. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF SWITCH POSITION.

41
Q

Describe the Windshield and Side-window heating system.

A

All flight deck windows are Heated electronically, contain their own controller to control temperature heat (4 in total) and contains 3 sensors each: 1 normal sensor 1 overheat sensor 1 standby sensor as a backup for either The switches in the flight deck can be controlled to apply LOW or HI heat.

42
Q

When is the LOW position used for the windshield heat?

A

For de-misting or de-fogging

43
Q

When is the HIGH position used for windshield heat?

A

For deicing the MAIN windows only, side windows remain on low regardless of switch position

44
Q

If the WSHLD switches are selected off, what will happen regarding EICAS messages?

A

L/R WINDOW HEAT and L/R WINDSHIELD HEAT messages will display

45
Q

Max speed for windshield wiper?

A

220

46
Q

If one windshield wiper selector fails, what will happen?

A

Both wipers we be controlled by the other selector.

47
Q

If the windshield wiper selectors and each set to a different position, what will happen?

A

The last selection will take precedence.

48
Q

If the T2 heater test fails on both FADEC channels, what will happen?

A

The L/R ENG TAT HEAT EICAS caution message displays The FADEC will not attempt to energize the respective T2 heater

49
Q

What needs to happen for the ADS Anti-Ice system to go into the ground automatic mode?
