ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY MALFUNCTIONS

Loss of Electrical Power

For increased redundancy, the electrical system includes two 24 volt batteries,

a starter/generator and an alternator, all of which may provide electrical power

to the master control unit. If one or more of the power sources should fail,

the remaining operational power source(s) is capable of providing sufcient

electrical power for most situations. If the

VOLTAGE LOW annunciation

should appear on the PFD, the EICAS page should be cross referenced

to determine bus voltages. If there is an actual system malfunction,

nonessential electrical equipment on the malfunctioned bus should be turned

off and a landing should be made at the nearest airport to determine the

cause of the problem before further ight.

3-5 INADVERTENT FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS

Flight into known icing conditions is prohibited unless the aircraft is equipped

with the complete “ight into known icing equipment package” and all

of the equipment is operative. However, during ights into Instrument

Meteorological Conditions (IMC), icing conditions may be encountered

inadvertently, and action should be taken to exit those conditions as soon as

possible. Initiation of a climb is usually the best action to take for avoiding

icing. Course reversal and accomplishing a descent into known warmer

air are viable alternatives. If ice remains on the leading edges of the ight

surfaces after an inadvertent icing encounter, a aps-up landing should be

performed. This will reduce the chance of tail stall.

ICE FORMATION DETERMINATION

Typically, ice will accumulate more efciently on a leading edge with a small

radius than on a leading edge with a large radius. With relatively small

leading edge radii, the wing strut and ap tracks are good locations to monitor

for ice build-up, but may not be as visible to the pilot as the wing leading

edges. It is recommended to monitor for ice build-up in the following areas:

1. Wing Leading Edge

2. Wing Struts

3. Leading Edge of Flap Tracks (unprotected surface)

4. Lower Portion of Windshield

Uncontrolled if printed
