Ice & Rain Flashcards
What items operate by neumatics?
Wing anti-ice
What items are operated by electricity?
Pitot, stall probe, RAT, elevator pitot
What items operate with engine bleed?
Engine anti-ice
Will ice and rain systems work with battery power?
No, they ALL require normal power
Where is wing anti-ice provided?
3 of the wing slats (not outer most slat and not leading edge flap)
Does engine cowl anti-icing require the engine bleed air switch to be on?
No
How do you know TAI is on by looking at the engine display?
TAI is displayed in green over the N1 dials
What must Engine ignition be selected to prior to and during engine anti-ice operation.
CONT
What stage bleed air is used for engine anti-ice?
5 & 9, 5th stage primary, 8th auxiliary
What happens if the TAI valve fails to open/close?
If the valve fails to open or close as selected, the COWL VALVE OPEN light will remain illuminated bright and the TAI on the upper display turns amber after a short delay.
If the light remains bright when the switch is OFF, the valve is open. Thrust on the affected engine should be reduced if possible to prevent cowl overheat.
If the light remains bright when the switch is ON, the valve is closed and icing conditions should be avoided.
What does COWL ANTI-ICE mean?
A pressure sensor monitors the condition of the delivered bleed air.
If pressure is too high between the COWL ANTI-ICE VALVE and the cowl lip - the respective COWL ANTI-ICE light will come on.
When the COWL ANTI-ICE light is ON, the abnormal procedure directs the crew to retard thrust until the light extinguishes.
Is the FMC displayed Automatically adjusted for anti-ice OR wing anti-ice?
No but the amber barber poles are
What must be done after flight in icing conditions?
After flight in icing conditions, the Engine Fan blades must be inspected by one of the pilots.
T
Does wing anti-ice need bleed air switches on?
Normally yes both but 1 engine can supply to all
How are wing anti-ice valves powered?
The Wing Anti-ice Control Valves are motor operated (normal AC power) and do not require air pressure to function. These valves fail in position with a loss of power.
