Ice Protection Flashcards
The Ice Detection System is composed of…
One ice detector providing an ice signal when and as long as ice is detected on the sensing element.
How much ice is required on the ice detector to tirgger the Ice signal (mm) …
0.5 mm of ice buildup on the sensing element.
Ice Detection System is only an advisory system. The pilot has the primary responsibility for detecting icing conditions through visual cues and activating ice protection systems.

What is the difference between AUTO and MAN ice protection modes?
AUTO: ice is detected, all ice protection automatically activated.
Note: “ICE DETECTED” is displayed in the CAS window.
MAN: all deicing systems turn ON and can be activated/deactivated individually.
For a take-off WITHOUT icing conditions, what mode should the de-icing system be set?
AUTO (Blue)
INERT SEP - ON (Green)
PITOT HEATL/R & STALL HRT - ON (Green)
