Wing and Engine Anti-Ice Operation Flashcards
Use of wing anti-ice above FL 350 may cause
bleed trip off and possible loss of cabin pressure
Wing anti-ice must be off for
bleeds off takeoff and landings
The primary method to use the wing anti-ice in flight is
By allowing ice to accumulate before turning wing anti-ice on.
Why wait until ice has formed to turn on wing anti-ice?
Provides the cleanest airfoil surface, Least possibility of runback ice formation, least thrust and fuel penalty
Operate the wing anti-ice system as an anti-icer only during:
Extended operations in moderate or sever icing conditions, such as holding.
Ice accumulation on the flight deck window frames, windshield center post, or on the windshield wiper arm may be used as…
an indication of structural icing conditions and the need to turn on wing anti-ice
Engine anti-ice must be ON prior to, and during all flight operations when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except
during climb and cruise when temperature is below -40°C SAT
Engine anti-ice must be ON prior to, and during
descent in all icing conditions, INCLUDING temperatures below -40°C SAT
What must be observed after positioning engine anti-ice switches to on?
(NG) Observe that each COWL VALVE OPEN light illuminates bright, then dim, and COWL ANTI-ICE lights are extinguished.
(MAX) Verify that the COWL ANTI-ICE lights are extinguished.
In flight in moderate to sever icing conditions that cannot be avoided, accomplish engine run up one engine at a time to…
a minimum of 80% N1 at approximately 15-minute intervals to clear ice from fan blades and spinner
If vibration is 4.0 units or greater after run up is completed, accomplish the Engine High Vibration non-normal checklist.
