Q

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?

A

Aircraft with NORM & HIGH

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.
