modern aircraft, many of these systems are automatically controlled by the ice detection system and onboard computers. Figure 15-3. Ice and rain protection systems. Figure 15-4. An ice detector alerts the flight crew of icing conditions ... some aircraft, automatically activates ice protection systems. One or more detectors are located on the forward fuselage. Ice Detector System Ice can be detected visually, but most modern aircraft have one or more ice detector sensors that warn the flight…
- Chapter 15: Ice & Rain Protection › Wing & Stabilizer Anti-Icing Systems › Chemical Anti-Icing
Chemical Anti-Icing Chemical anti-icing is used in some aircraft to anti-ice the leading edges of the wing, stabilizers, windshields, and propellers. The wing and stabilizer systems are often called weeping wing systems or are known by their ... trade name of Figure 15-14. Probes with thermal electric anti-icing on one commercial airliner. Figure 15-15. Pitot probe heat system. TKS™ systems. Ice protection is based upon the freezing point depressant concept. An antifreeze solution is pumped…
- Chapter 3: Induction & Exhaust Systems › Basic Carburetor Induction System › Induction System Icing
Induction System Icing A short discussion concerning the formation and location of induction system ice is helpful, even though a technician is not normally concerned with operations that occur when the aircraft is in flight. [Figure 3-7] Technicians should ... know something about induction system icing because of its effect on engine performance and troubleshooting. Even when an inspection shows that everything is in proper working order and the engine performs perfectly on the ground, induction system ice can cause…
