Q

How can the wing anti-ice be ground tested?

A

Pushing the WING ANTI-ICE pb on the ground will first open the valves,

after 10 seconds, the valves are displayed in amber

after 30 seconds the valves close and open automatically after takeoff

Q
  • An independent air bleed from the high-pressure compressor protects each engine nacelle form ice. Air is supplied through a two positions (open or closed) valve that the crew controls with two p/b, 1 for each engine.- Hot air from the pneumatic system heats three outboard slats (3-5) of each wing. Air sis supplied via 1 valve on each wing.
A

What are is the hot air taken from for the engine anti-icing and the wing anti-icing?

Q

TAT (pitot heating low, auto changes to normal once in flight.

A

Which probes are NOT heated on the ground?

24
Q
  • In flight- On the ground (except tat probes) provided one engine is running.
A

In the AUTO position, when are PROBES and WINDOWS heated automatically?

25
Q

230kts

A

What is the maximum speed for the use of windscreen wipers?

26
Q

-40 degrees during climb or cruise.

A

Below what temperature can de-icing be switch off?

27
Q

Less or equal to +10 degrees OAT or TAT, visible moisture, clouds, fog, low visibly less or equal to 1NM, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals or standing water, slush, ice or snow is present on the taxiways or runways.

A

What defines icing conditions?

28
Q

On the BLEED page.

A

On which ECAM page can you get information about the anti-ice system?

29
Q

The engine anti-ice valves will open automatically anti-icing is ensured.

A

What is the position of the engine anti-ice valves in the event of an electrical power supply loss?

30
Q

230kts.

A

What is the speed limit for operating the windscreen wipers?

31
Q

No.

A

If one engine anti-ice system fails can the second one take over and provide anti-icing for both engines?

32
Q

The N1 limit for that engine is automatically reduced.

A

What happens to engine RPM when engine anti-ice valve is open?

33
Q

Electrical heating protects pitot heads static ports Angle-Of-Attack probes (AOAs) and Total AIr Temperature (TAT) probes. Three independent Probe Heat Computers (PHCs) automatically control and monitor Captains probes F/O probes and STYBY probes.

A

How does the probe heat heating work?

34
Q

Flight compartment windows sensors pitot probes static ports and waste water drain mast.

A

Which areas are protected with electrical heating?

35
Q

Three outboard leading-edge slats of each wing and engine air intakes.

A

Which areas are protected with hot air?

36
Q

The window heating comes on automatically when at least one engine is running or when the aircraft is in flight and manually before engine start when the flight crew switches ON the PROBE/WINDOW HEAT pushbutton switch.

A

When does the window heating come on?

37
Q

On the ground the TAT probes are not heated and pitot heating operates at a low level (the changeover to normal power in flight is automatic).

A

Are the TAT probes heated on the ground?

38
Q
  • On landing- Bleed leak detected- Loss of electrical power
A

When do the wing anti-ice valves automatically close?

39
Q
  • Wing: Valves CLOSE- Engine: Valves OPEN
A

In what position do the Wing and Engine Anti-Ice valves fail if electrical power is lost?

40
Q
  • Engine Anti-ice ON- Engine flameout detection- Failure of the EIU
A

When does continuous ignition automatically operate?

41
Q

No. It is a separate system independent of the pneumatic ducting

A

Is the engine anti-ice part of the normal pneumatic system?

42
Q
  • When OAT (Ground) / TAT (Flight) 10 degrees C or below with visible moisture present- Prior to and during descent in icing conditions (including temperatures below -40 degrees C SAT)
A

When do you use engine anti-ice?

43
Q

Switch/anti-ice valve disagreement

A

What does a “FAULT” light in the ENG ANTI ICE pushbutton indicate?

44
Q
  • Blue ENG ANTI ICE light ON- ECAM: ENG ANTI ICE- ECAM: IGNITION- N1 limit is reduced (amber tick on N1 indicator)- N1 idle is increased
A

With ENG ANTI ICE ON what indications will you see?

45
Q

Increase N1 to 70% for a minimum of 15 seconds prior to selecting a higher thrust

A

What should you do if there is significant engine vibration due to ice?

46
Q

Yes, because idle thrust is increased

A

With engine anti-ice ON, is your descent affected?

47
Q

No

A

Should you use wing anti-ice on the ground?

48
Q

No

A

Can you use the APU bleed for wing anti-ice?

49
Q
  • Switch/anti-ice valve disagreement- Low pressure is detected
A

What does the amber “FAULT” light in the WING ANTI ICE pushbutton indicate?

50
Q

230 Knots

A

What is the maximum windshield wiper operation speed?

51
Q

Timer applies a measured quantity of rain repellent to the windshield

A

What happens when the RAIN RPLNT pushbutton is pressed?

52
Q

Outboard 3 slats

A

What part of the wing is heated?

53
Q

The wing anti-icing valves will open for a 30 second test

A

What happens if you turn the anti-ice switch on, on the ground?

54
Q

No

A

With the PROBE/WINDOW HEAT pushbutton ON will the heaters automatically switch to AUTO?

55
Q
  • LOW with at least one engine running (except the TAT probe - not heated on ground)- NORMAL is automatically selected after T/O
A

On the ground, with the PROBE/WINDOW HEAT pushbutton in AUTO, when are the probe and mast heaters activated?

56
Q

On the ground with the engines stopped

A

When will the RAIN RPLNT pushbutton not work?
