Questions and Answers

What are the limitations for icing conditions as per the Airplane Flight Manual?

Icing conditions exist when the Static Air Temperature (SAT) on the ground and in flight is between 10°C (50°F) and -40°C (-40°F), and visible moisture in any form is present.

Where are the ice detector probes mounted, and what is their function?

The ice detector probes are mounted on each side of the fuselage just below the pilot and copilot windows. They measure ice accumulation on the tip of each probe, and ice formation on the probes changes the resonant properties of the probe, proportional to the accumulation thickness.

How does the ice detection system determine the thickness of the ice?

The ice thickness affects the resonate properties of the detectors, which in turn determines the thickness of the ice.

At what ice formation thickness does the system activate, and what happens to the probe frequency when this occurs?

<p>The system activates when probes accumulate 0.020 inches (0.508mm) of ice formation, decreasing the probe frequency by approximately 130 Hz.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What cautionary instructions are provided regarding the operation of the aircraft in actual or anticipated icing conditions, and what specific consideration is highlighted?

<p>The cautionary instruction is to review Chapter 03 - All Weather and Special Flight Operations when operating in actual or anticipated icing conditions. Specific attention should be paid to the large increase in runway length requirements for takeoffs and landings on contaminated runways.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What are the indications of icing conditions, and how does the Ice Detection System respond to these conditions?

<p>The indications of icing conditions include visible moisture in any form and a Static Air Temperature (SAT) between 10°C (50°F) and -40°C (-40°F). The Ice Detection System automatically activates the anti-icing equipment on the aircraft when it detects suitable conditions for ice formation.</p> Signup and view all the answers
