Icing Protection and Procedures Flashcards
What is the purpose of Active Ice Protection Systems?
Increase temperature of local areas
Chemically reduce freezing point of precipitation
What are the two types of ice protection systems?
Active
Passive
What is the purpose of Passive Ice Protection systems?
Separate precipitation from the main airstream and divert away
How are active ice protection systems categorised?
Active systems may be categorised as either anti-icing or de-icing.
How does Anti-Icing work?
Anti-icing systems prevent the formation of ice in critical areas
How does De-Icing work?
De-icing systems work to remove ice which has already formed.
What is the purpose of Ice and Rain protection systems?
Remove the ice formed on the wing and the horizontal stabiliser leading edges. Bleed air is routed from both engines to the wing de-icers and to the horizontal stabiliser pneumatic de-icers
Remove or prevent ice formation around the engine inlet cowls, using bleed air from the related engine
Prevent ice formation on the aircraft sensors. Pitot probes, static ports, and the AoA (Angle of Attack) sensors are heated electrically
Remove ice, frost, fog, or rain from the windshield. The windshield heating system uses electrical heaters and the windshield rain protection uses a rain repellent coating applied to the windshield external surface
Provide the pilot and the co-pilot with a way to inspect the aircraft against icing while flying at night. There is one lamp installed on the left fuselage that shines onto the left wing for visible ice detection

What is included on the Ice Protection panel?
Windshield Heating 1 and 2
Air Data System/Angle of Attack heating
Engine ice protection, switches for both engines
Wingstab ice protection
Inspection light
How does the engine anti icing work?
Engine Anti-Icing (EAI) system supplies hot air from the engine to its inlet cowl to prevent ice forming on the inlet lip
What does the Engine Anti Icing System consist of?
Supply ducting
EAI valve
Venturi limiter
Transducer
Piccolo tube
Exhaust vents
When will the A-I E1 (2) FAIL message appear?
With the engine running, if the transducer reads a pressure equal to or less than 25 PSI
What does the Windshield Anti Icing System consist of?
Four independent subsystems (two for each windshield)
Two sub-systems are controlled by one Windshield Heater Control Unit (WHCU)
