  icing systems because deicing systems are activated after encountering icing conditions, permitting a certain amount of ice accumulation. a. Pneumatic Boots. Pneumatic boots, pictured in Figure 3-7, consist of rubber tubes attached to critical aircraft surfaces, such ... leading edges of wings and horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The tubes may be either chordwise or spanwise. The pneumatic boots are collapsed during normal operations, with suction provided by a vacuum pump to avoid disruption of airflow over the wings…

  Construction & Installation of Deice Boots Deicer boots are made of soft, pliable rubber, or rubberized fabric, and contain tubular air cells. The outer ply of the deicer boot is of conductive neoprene to provide resistance to deterioration by the elements ... conductive surface to dissipate static electricity charges. These charges, if allowed to accumulate, would eventually discharge through the boot to the metal skin beneath, causing static interference with the radio equipment. [Figure 15-31] On modern aircraft, the deicer boots…

  Upon inflation, the ice is cracked and should fall off the leading edge of the wing. Deicing boots are controlled from the flight deck by a switch and can be operated in a single cycle or allowed to cycle ... automatic, timed intervals. [Figure 7-48] In the past, it was believed that if the boots were cycled too soon after encountering ice, the ice layer would expand instead of breaking off, resulting in a condition referred…
