Q

Where are the ice detection probes located and how do they work?

A

Left and right side of the aircraft nose.
They vibrate at a frequency and any ice accumulation causes the vibration to increase due to increased rigidity.

Q

Are the ice detection probes heated?

A

Yes auto activated as soon as half a millimetre is detected, then rapidly heated till the ice melts, the heating element turns off allowing further ice build up and the cycle continues if still accumulating ice

Q

If there is a leak in the vertical or horizontal stab can that be isolated with the ISO switch?

A

Not completely. There is a restrictor so loss of system pressure is restricted

Q

Why is it important to turn the airframe manual switch anti clockwise?

A

Incase there is a boot leak or failure then it prevents a major lateral imbalance if ice sheds from only one side as you cycle through

Q

What powers the prop de ice?

A

L or R variable 115V AC Bus when above 400RPM

27
Q

Propeller selector switch modes?

A

Test
OFF
ON

28
Q

The PROP switch in the ON position means?

A

Propeller de icing is on provided the TAT is at or below 5 degrees.
TAT is warmer than SAT and increases as airspeed increases so at 5 degrees SAT and a high airspeed the prop heaters may not cycle

29
Q

PROP switch set to TEST?

A

Spring loaded. Overrides the TAT. Heating elements cycle for 7 seconds, left then right. 30 seconds between tests to allow props to cool

30
Q

PROP DEICE caution light?

A

TMCU fails or is not powered, if one of more prop blades aren’t heating or a major failure of the prop de ice system occurs

31
Q

Pitot static probes power source?

A

L variable 115V AC bus
R variable 115V AC bus
STBY 28V ess DC bus

32
Q

AoA power source?

A

L and R variable 115V AC bus

33
Q

AoA failure what happens?

A

No caution light for this system is replied on the stall protection system (SPS) and associated caution lights:
#1 or 2 STALL SYST FAIL
PUSHER SYST FAIL

34
Q

Engine intake heaters power?

A

115V variable AC bus

35
Q

During heavy rain what should you do?
