Ice and Rain Protection Flashcards

1
Q

When S.E. Taxing (ENG1 or 2) and the APU running, would both windshields be
heated?

A
  • Yes
  • There would be normal windshield heating since you have two sources of AC
    power.

A
  • When a single AC power is available (IDG) the corresponding windshield heat
    will heat for 120 sec

Q

Can you have windshield heat in Flight with a single source AC?

A
  • Yes, but only the left windshield is heated, unless the left heating system fails,
    then the right will be powered

Q

What is the purpose of the Ice Detector(s)?

A
  • They command the ENG and WING Anit-Ice valves to open above 1700 agl or 2
    minutes after takeoff, once ice has been detected and stay open for 2 minutes
    after ice is no longer detected.
    10.Does the Engine Bleed valve fail open or closed?
  • Fail safe open if either the electrical or pressure signal are not present.

Q

If an engine fails, does the a. opposite wing / b. engine receive ice protection?

A
  • Yes. The Crossbleed valve opens to provide symmetrical ice protection for both
    wings.
  • The failed engine does not receive heat to the engine lip.

Q

How many ice detectors must be working to have ice detection?

A
  • One (two for redundancy)
17
Q

Can the APU be used to provide bleed air for deicing?

A
  • No.
18
Q

What is protected from ice and rain?

A
  • Engine inlets
  • Wing leading edge
  • Smart probes
  • Windshields
  • Water and waste drains
19
Q

Can the pilot override the automatic function of the Anti-Ice system?

A
  • Yes.
20
Q

How do the Ice Detectors work/function?

A
  • Vibrating sensor element that changes frequency when ice builds up around it.
  • Once ice is detected, the sensor element heats, the ice melts, the normal
    vibrating characteristics are restored, and the heating process stops. The cycle
    repeats as ice rebuilds on the probes.
21
Q

What compressor stage is bleed air tapped for anti-icing operations?

A
  • 10th high stage valve (HSV)
22
Q

How is bleed air directed for pneumatic anti-ice?

A
  • Engine: Onside Only

- Wings: Onside or Crossside

23
Q

What happens if there is a single source failure?

A
  • The Crossbleed automatically opens (Fire Handle not pulled)
24
Q

How should the MCDU be set if there are icing conditions present on the ground?

A
  • ALL
25
Q

If “ALL” is selected on the ground, at what point will the anti-ice system become
automatic?

A
  • 1700 AGL or 2 minutes after takeoff (whichever comes first)
26
Q

If “OFF” is selected on the ground, at what point will the anti-ice system become
automatic?

A
  • 1700 AGL or 2 minutes after takeoff (whichever happens first)
27
Q

What happens if the wiper is operated on a dry windshield?

A
  • The wiper will stop.

- To reset wiper, move switch to OFF..

28
Q

Is there a test for the anti-ice system?

A
  • Yes, but maintenance performs the test.
