  Chapter 15: Ice & Rain Protection › Wing & Stabilizer Anti-Icing Systems

  Wing & Stabilizer Anti-Icing Systems The wing leading edges, or leading-edge slats, and horizontal and vertical stabilizer leading edges of many aircraft make and models have anti-icing systems installed to prevent the formation of ice on these components ... most common anti-icing systems used are thermal pneumatic, thermal electric, and chemical. Most general aviation (GA) aircraft equipped to fly in icing conditions use pneumatic deicing boots or a chemical anti-ice system. High-performance aircraft may have “weeping…
