Q

What is the normal position for the ADSP Heater Button?

A

Pushed OUT

21
Q

How can the ADSP System Logic be overridden?

A

Manually, by pushing IN the ADSP Heater Button

22
Q

What happens when the ADSP Heater Button is pushed IN?

A

Manual Override of the System Logic, allowing for heating of the ADSPs on GROUND

23
Q

What happens to the Engine Anti-Ice Valve if Electrical Power is lost?

A

Fail Safe Open

24
Q

Which part of the wings are heated/can be de-iced?

A

Outboard Leading Edges (2,3,4)

25
Q

How are the Wing Leading Edges Heated?

A

Via Bleed Air from the Respective Engine

26
Q

Can the APU Supply bleed air for Anti-icing?

A

No

27
Q

How many Ice Detectors are there?

A

2, located on the Left & Right side of the nose

28
Q

What would happen to the Wing Anti-Ice System if an Engine Fire Handle is Pulled?

A

Anti-Ice Protection would be lost, as pulling the Fire Handle closes the Crossbleed Shutoff Valve

29
Q

When are the Wing & Engine Anti-ice Valves commanded open?

A

If an Icing Condition is detected IN FLIGHT

30
Q

What happens if an icing Condition is detected IN FLIGHT?

A

The Ice Detectors command the wing and engine anti-ice valves OPEN

Remain Activated for 2 minutes after the icing condition is no longer detected

31
Q

How long do the wing and Engine Anti-Ice Valves stay Open after an Icing Condition is detected IN FLIGHT?

A

Until 2 minutes after the icing condition is no longer detected

32
Q

What happens if 1 Ice Detector fails?

A

Nothing, system operates automatically/normally, but redundancy is lost

33
Q

What happens if both Ice Detectors fail?

A

Anti-Ice System must be operated manually

34
Q

What must be done before taking off in Icing Conditions?

A

The FADEC must be configured via the MCDU

35
Q

Ice is detected. With ENG selected on the T/O data set page, and AUTO selected on the Mode Selector, when will the WING Anti-Ice System come on?

A

At the end of the takeoff phase - 1700ft AGL or 2 minutes after takeoff, whichever occurs first

36
Q

With ENG selected on the T/O data set page, and AUTO selected on the Mode Selector, when will the Engine Anti-Ice come on?

A

The Engine Anti-Ice Valve will be OPENED after Engine Start

37
Q

When will the Engine & Wing Anti-Ice Valves Open?

A

If Ice is detected

38
Q

What happens when a Bleed Source fails in the Wing Anti-Ice System?

A

The System Automatically opens the Crossbleed Valve and uses the opposite bleed for both wings.

39
Q

Operation of Anti-Ice Valves during takeoff affects what?

A

Engine Performance

40
Q

What is the purpose of the REF A/I Modes set on the MCDU?

A

They inhibit the Anti-Ice System Logic during takeoff until 1700ft AGL or 2 mins after takeoff, whichever occurs first

41
Q

What does the Engine and Wing Anti-Ice System use as a heat source?

A

Bleed Air from the Engines

42
Q

What is meant by the undetected envelope Anti-Ice logic?

A

During specific conditions the Wing Anti-Ice System will be activated regardless of Icing conditions being present

ICE CONDITION EICAS Message will not display

43
Q

Even though not in icing conditions, when will the Wing Anti-Ice System activate?

A

When for 2 minutes all of the following occur:

IN FLIGHT
Altitude BELOW 22,000ft
Combination of Air Temp, Alt & Speed Indicators
