GENERAL
Airplane ice protection system is provided by heating critical ice build
up areas through the use of either hot air or electrical power. The
system is fully automatic and under icing conditions, activates the
entire protection system (the only exception is the windshield heating
system).
The hot air-heated areas are:
− Wing and horizontal stabilizer leading edges.
− Engine air inlet lips.
The electrically heated areas are:
− Windshields.
− Pitot tubes, Pitot-static tube, AOA sensors, TAT probes, ADCs and
pressurization static ports.
− Lavatory water drain and water service nipples.
Two fully independent wiper systems remove rain from the
windshields.
NOTE: For airplanes Pre-Mod. SB 145-30-0055 and Post-Mod.
SB 145-30-0054 (or with an equivalent modification factory
incorporated), the Rain Repellent Coating replace the
Windshield Wipers. Approved Rain Repellent Coatings are
listed in AMM chapter 30-41-04.
All ice protection systems provide signals to the EICAS for
malfunctioning system display.
