TROUBLESHOOT THIS SYSTEMDefine the reported symptom, confirm aircraft and configuration applicability, then follow current approved fault-isolation and maintenance data.
Why it exists
Maintain required aerodynamic, sensing and visibility performance in icing or precipitation conditions.
What belongs here
- Wing and tail anti-ice
- Engine or intake anti-ice
- Probe and sensor heating
- Windshield heat
- Wiper and rain-repellent functions
- Ice detectors
- Pneumatic boots or electrical heating elements
What users may see
Anti-ice valve or heater status, electrical load, temperature or overheat indications, ice-detection messages and system faults may be displayed.
What technicians commonly evaluate
Heat damage, electrical resistance and insulation, valve or duct leakage, sensor performance, windshield condition, protected-area limits and correct test conditions are common concerns.
