Ice and Rain Protection Flashcards
Conditioned air for defogging of the no 1 windows can be routed from which pack?
Pack 1
When would the COWL VALVE OPEN light illuminate bright?
What would the valve being dim mean?
What if the light was off?
When the valve is in transit or when the valve is in disagreement with the switch.
Dim = valve open Off = valve closed
What does TAI stand for on the engine indications?
Thermal Anti Ice
What does a green TAI on the engine indications mean?
Cowl valve open with switch on
What does an amber TAI on the engine indications mean?
The position of the cowl anti-ice valve disagrees with the position of the switch, and will only appear after 8 seconds of this disagreement.
What does the amber COWL ANTI-ICE LIGHT indicate?
That there is an over pressure condition in the duct, downstream of the anti-ice valve.
What pressure would trip the COWL ANTI-ICE light?
> 65 psi
Would you get eng anti-ice with the eng Bleed air switch off?
Yes, because Bleed air for eng anti-ice is taken upstream from the eng bleed valve.
When the eng anti-ice switches are on, what is adjusted?
Stall logic (stick shaker speed, manoeuvre speed bars on pfd etc).
FMC Vref speed is not adjusted automatically.
The COWL ANTI-ICE valves are powered by a…?
What will happen if AC power is lost?
28v DC solenoid.
The valves will spring load closed and engine anti-ice will not be available.
What parts of the wing are protected by wing anti-ice?
3 inboard leading edge slats on each wing.
For the wing anti-ice to function, a Bleed air switch needs to be positioned…?
Why?
On
Because bleed air is taken downstream of the eng bleed valve, so bleed air switch must be open.
What are the wing anti-ice control valves controlled by?
115v AC
Can wing anti-ice be used in the air or on the ground?
Both
What 2 conditions will cause the wing anti-ice control valves to automatically trip closed?
On the ground when thrust levers are advanced for take off
When there is a over temp condition in the wing distribution ducts.
