On the overhead Ice Protection panel under the windshield heat heading, what does L/R SIDE & L/R FRONT light mean if they come on?
- Will come on when an overheat or controller fault occurs.
On the overhead Ice Protection panel under the windshield heat heading, what does the L/R SIDE SWITCH do for both aircraft types with either OFF - NORM - HIGH or OFF - ON?
Aircraft with NORM & HIGH
* NORM is used for defogging - must be on for 7 minutes before HIGH is selected.
* HIGH used for de-icing and if selected on the ground with the WOW switchs activated HIGH wont be active until gear is up and locked.
Aircraft with OFF & ON
* ON is used for both defogging and de-icing.
* Power in ON position is applied gradually by the controller to reduce thermal stress.
For both types OFF position also resets the controller if tripped.
On the overhead Ice Protection panel under the windshield heat heading, what does the L/R FRONT SWITCH do?
- applies regulated power to the front windshield when set to ON.
On the overhead Ice Protection panel under the Propellor heading, what does the L/R PROP light mean when illuminated?

3. Over/under current to the prop boots, and
4. Cycling interval periods are off by >+/- 0.5%.
On the overhead Ice Protection panel under the Propellor heading, what does the L/R PROP SWITCH do when switched ON?
- A timer/monitor initates heating cycles for each symmetrical propeller blade which are;
1. NORM position: ON for 11 sec OFF for 79 sec.
2. MAX position: ON for 90 sec OFF for 90 sec. - Also illuminates the BLUE L/R PROP DE-ICE light on the status light panel.
On the Centre Instrument Panel is the Status Lights Panel, what does the blue L/R PROP DE_ICE Light mean? When will it go out other than being switched off?
- Comes on when the L/R PROP SWITCH is on and the system is working.
