distortion. The hydrophobic windshield coating reduces the need for wipers and gives the flight crew better visibility during heavy rain. Most new aircraft windshields are treated with surface seal coating. The manufacturer’s coating process deeply penetrates the windshield surface ... field are used. These liquid treatments rubbed onto the surface of the windshield maintain the beading action of rain water. They must be applied periodically or as needed. Pneumatic Rain Removal Systems Windshield wipers characteristically have two basic problem areas…

Rain Control Systems There are several different ways to remove the rain from the windshields. Most aircraft use one or a combination of the following systems: windshield wipers, chemical rain repellent, pneumatic rain removal (jet blast), or windshields treated with ... hydrophobic surface seal coating. Windshield Wiper Systems In an electrical windshield wiper system, the wiper blades are driven by an electric motor(s) that receive (s) power from the aircraft’s electrical system. On some aircraft, the pilot…

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…
