Q

What happens to the stall warning logic after the wing anti-ice is switched off in flight?

A

Logic remains adjusted for remainder of flight.

17
Q

How are probes heated?

A

Electrically

18
Q

Are static ports heated?

A

No, because they are flush with the fuselage.

19
Q

What power do the probe heat elements use?

A

115v AC

Current detection circuits use 28v DC power

20
Q

When only will the captains pitot probe be heated?

A

When on standby power

but no probe heat lights will illuminate, even the capt pitot probe light (on stby power)

21
Q

How many normal windows and how many eyebrow windows are there?

A

6 normal

4 eyebrow, left over from Boeing 707 days (stopped in 2005, saves weight and and maint costs)

22
Q

What is the structure of a non-heated window?

A

Stretched Acrylic with a gap core

23
Q

What is the structure of a heated window?

A

Glass with a vinyl core.

24
Q

Target window 1 and 2 heat temperature is…?

A

43 deg c

25
Q

When will a window overheat trip occur?

A

If temp exceeds 62 deg c

26
Q

What does WHCU stand for?

A

Window Heat Control Unit

27
Q

What power does the wiper system use?

A

28v DC

28
Q

When would you use eng anti-ice and how would you select it?

A

TAT 10 deg c or less all the way to -40 deg SAT and visible moisture.

Start switches to Cont, then switch on.

29
Q

When could wing anti-ice trigger a bleed valve trip, causing a possible loss of cabin pressure?

A

Above FL350 because it demands a lot of Bleed air.

30
Q

Windows 1L/R are treated with what type of coating?

A

Hydrophobic

31
Q

Wiper INT position provides intermittent operation every…?

A

7 seconds
