WINDSHlELD ANTI·ICE (ELECTROTHERMAL)
The
pilot's
electrically
heated
windshield segment is
controlled
by a switch
located
on
the
left
subpanel.
Windshield heat is designed for continuous in-flight use and
should be applied prior to, or upon first encountering, icing
conditions. This system is also beneficial as an aid in
preventing frost and fogging due to rapid descents from
higher altitudes into warm, moist air.
Operation of the windshield heat will cause the standby
compass to become erratic; therefore, windshield
heat
should be turned off for a period of 15 seconds to allow a
stable reading of the standby compass.
CAUTION
Ground use of windshield heat is limited to 10
minutes.
