1 | When do you use engine anti-ice? [ FCOM-PRO-NOR-SOP-09 ]
º When OAT (Ground) / TAT (Flight) 10° C or below with visible moisture present

2 | What is the exception to the engine anti-ice rule? [ FCOM-PRO-NOR-SOP-15 ]
º Do not use engine anti-ice during climb and cruise when the temperature is below –40° C SAT
3 | What does a FAULT light in the ENG ANTI ICE pushbutton indicate? [ FCOM-DSC-30-30-20 ]

4 | With ENG ANTI ICE ON what indications will you see? [ FCOM-DSC-30-30-10, FCOM-DSC-30-30-20 ]
º Blue ENG ANTI ICE light ON

º N1 limit is reduced (amber tick on N1 indicator)
º N1 idle is increased
5 | With engine anti-ice ON, is your descent affected? [ FCOM-PRO-NOR-SOP-18 ]
º Yes, because idle thrust is increased
6 | What happens if you turn the WING ANTI ICE switch on the ground? [ FCOM-DSC-30-20-10 ]

º Outboard 3 slats
8 | When do the wing anti-ice valves automatically close?
[ FCOM-DSC-30-20-10 ]
º On landing
º Bleed leak detected
º Loss of electrical power
9 | What does the amber FAULT light in the WING ANTI ICE pushbutton indicate? [ FCOM-DSC-30-20-20 ]
º Switch/anti-ice valve disagreement
º Low pressure is detected
10 |In what position do the Wing and Engine Anti-Ice valves fail if electrical power is lost?
[ FCOM-DSC-30-20-10, FCOM-DSC-30-30-10 ]
º Wing – valves CLOSE
º Engine – valves OPEN
11 |On the ground, with the PROBE/WINDOW HEAT pushbutton in AUTO, when are the probe and TAT heaters
activated? [ FCOM-DSC-30-50-20 ]
º LOW with at least one engine running (except the TAT probe – not heated on ground)
