6.5.4 Engine Anti-Ice
Engine anti-ice protection is provided by pressurized bleed air directed into a
perforated tube on the inside of each engine inlet cowl. Bleed air entering the tube
heats the cowl, preventing ice formation. This air is then exhausted overboard.
Figure 67. Engine Inlet Anti-Ice
Engine anti-ice is activated by selecting engine anti-ice only (ENG) or both engine
anti-ice and wing de-ice (ENG/WING) on the center switch panel.
An ENG A/ICE ON status message indicates only engine anti-ice is activated. An
ENG/WING ICE PROT ON status message indicates both engine anti-ice and wing
de-ice are activated. Normal operation of the engine anti-ice system is indicated on
the ICE protection synoptic by green engine inlets on the airplane graphic display.
When the system is off, the engines are displayed in black with a white outline.
