Ice- Rain Protection Flashcards
When the Airframe manual switch is selected to a boot set what occurs?
The boot set remains inflated while the switch is selected to that boot set
Pitot/static heating is powered by What?
28 V DC
Temperature sensors prevent the elevator horn heating from operating above what?
15°C
With the prop timer switch selected to below -10°C each propeller blade pair heats for how long?
20 Seconds with a 60 Second dwell.
If the Airframe auto switch is selected off mid cycle what occurs?
The entire boot set inflation cycle finishes before deactivation
A successful test of the elevator horn heating on the ground is indicated by what?
Illumination of both elevator horn heat caution lights, with both lights extinguishing shortly after
Illumination of the DE ICE PRESS caution light indicates what?
The pressure in the D icing system is below 5.5 PSI
Where are the ice protection panels installed?
On the fuselage adjacent the propellers
The valve heat switch on the ice protection panel controls heating to what?
Distributor valve assemblies
Angle of attack (AOA) Vane heating is available when ?
Whenever 115 V variable frequency a.c. is applied
When the Airframe auto switch is selected to slow each full cycle including Dwell period takes how long?
Four minutes
The automatic ignition system operates the igniters when ?
NH speed falls below 60%
In addition to De-icing Boot inflation, De-ice air is also provided to what?
The rear outflow valves, inflatable door seals and the rudder shut off valve
When the aircraft De-icing boots are operating in fast each boot set remains inflated for how long?
Six seconds
De-icing system air is regulated at approximately what psi?
18 psi
Protection against Air frame icing is provided by what?
Pneumatic airframe De-icing system utilising engine Bleed air.
What kind of inflatable boots sections are located on the aircraft?
Conventional inflatable boot sections are located on the leading edges of the wings, horizontal and vertical stabilises and the engine nacelle inlet lips
How are the propellers protected from ice accumulation?
By De-icing electric heater elements bonded to each of the blades
De- icing is supplemented by thermal anti-icing heater systems for which components of aircraft?
Pitot tubes, static ports, alpha vane sensors, engine intakes, front windshield, pilot side window and elevator horns.
Icing conditions on the ground?
Visible moisture with SAT; +10°C or below on ground and for takeoff, +5°C or below in flight.
Taxiway/runway contaminated with standing water, snow, ice at +10°C or below
When is the aircraft considered to be aerodynamically clean?
When all ice is removed from the visible leading edges and wingtips
What are the propeller heater elements powered by?
115 V variable frequency a.c.
When do the propeller de ice lights on the ice protection panel illuminate?
Each illuminates when the timer powers the associated blade pair
How can we determine that the elements are operating normally?
The a.c. variable frequency load meter on the a.c. monitor panel can be monitored
What protects the propeller heaters from possible overheat?
The proximity switch electronic unit Deactivates the heaters when the aeroplane is on the ground through the weight on wheels switch
