ICE DETECTION Flashcards
What sources are used for anti icing and deicing?
What sources are used for anti icing and deicing?
- Bleed Air heat (Engine Lips, Wings Slats 2,3,4)
- Electrical heat (Windshields,ADSP4,TAT2,Waterlines)
What uses bleed air for ice protection?
What uses bleed air for ice protection?
- Engines lips (HP #10 bleed)
- Outboard Slats (2,3,4 on each wing)
What compressor stage is bleed air tapped for anti-icing operations?
What compressor stage is bleed air tapped for anti-icing operations?
10th High stage valve (HSV
What uses electrical heat for protection?
What uses electrical heat for protection?
- Smart probes
- TAT probes
- Windshields
- Water lines
- Pressurization static port
If an engine fails, does the opposite wing and engine receive
bleed air?
If an engine fails, does the opposite wing and engine receive
bleed air?
Yes
X-bleed opens automatically when bleed source is lost and
opposite wing receives bleed air, failed engine lip does not
receive heat to the engine lip.-
How many ice detectors must be working to have ice
detection?
How many ice detectors must be working to have ice
detection?
One, 2 for redundancy
How long will the deicing system remain on after icing is no
longer detected?
How long will the deicing system remain on after icing is no
longer detected?
5 mins
IF ICING on MCDU is set to OFF and takeoff roll icing
conditions are encountered, will the deicing system turn on?
IF ICING on MCDU is set to OFF and takeoff roll icing
conditions are encountered, will the deicing system turn on?
Yes at 1700 ft AFE or 2 mins after takeoff whichever happens first
If “ALL” is selected on the ground at what point will the anti-ice system
become automatic?
If “ALL” is selected on the ground at what point will the anti-ice system
become automatic?
1700 ft. AGL or 2 minutes after takeoff (whichever happens first)
Can the APU be used to provide bleed for anti-ice?
Can the APU be used to provide bleed for anti-ice?
No
What is protected from ice & rain?
What is protected from ice & rain?
- Engine inlets (HP # 10 bleed)
- Wing leading edge
- Smart probes and TAT probes
- Windshields
- Water & waste drain systems
Is the ice protection system automatic?
Is the ice protection system automatic?
Yes under normal conditions
Can the pilot override the automatic system?
Can the pilot override the automatic system?
Yes, MODE AUTO-ON
How is ice detected?
How is ice detected? 2 ice detectors 1. Smart probe vibrates, 2. ice accumulates and vibrating freq. changes, 3. sensor element heats 4. Wing and Eng A/I activates 5. Ice melts off probes 6. Probes return to normal conditions
How is bleed air directed for pneumatic anti-ice for engines
and wings?
How is bleed air directed for pneumatic anti-ice for engines
and wings?
Engines = Independent
Wings = onside bleed
