ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION - WTAI - INTRODUCTION

Purpose The air/ground logic gives the wing anti-ice system air ground
sense feedback. The engine and wing anti-ice module uses this
The wing thermal anti-ice system (WTAI) keeps ice from the feedback to enable overheat and thrust conservation protection
leading edge of the wing. for the wing anti-ice system. It also turns off the WTAI system
during takeoff.
General Description

The WTAI system uses hot air from the pneumatic system to
heat the three inboard leading edge slats of the wing.
For Training Purposes Only

A switch on the P5 forward overhead panel controls the

operation of the WTAI system.

The WTAI system may operate in flight or on the ground.

When the system is on, the valves open and hot air from the
pneumatic ducts goes to the leading edge of the wings. The
heated air flows to the three inboard leading edge slat spray
tubes. The air sprays into the slat cavities and exhausts
overboard through holes in the bottom of the slats.

Overheat switches in each wing leading edge, protect the slats

from overheat. This overheat protection operates only when the
airplane is on the ground.

Switches on the control stand close the WTAI valves when you
advance the engine thrust levers. This conserves engine thrust
for takeoff. This thrust conservation protection only operates
when the airplane is on the ground.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION - WTAI - WING ANTI-ICING TELESCOPING DUCT

Purpose

The wing anti-icing telescoping ducts supply hot air to the spray
tubes in the wing leading edge.
Location

There are six wing anti-icing telescoping ducts. They are in the
wing leading edges between the wing thermal anti-ice (WTAI)
supply duct and the three inboard slats of each wing.
For Training Purposes Only

Physical Description

Each wing has three wing anti-icing telescoping ducts.

The telescoping ducts have an inner and outer section. The

inner and outer sections slide over each other during slat
extension and retraction.

The inner tube is teflon coated to prevent binding when the two
sections slide over each other.
Functional Description

The anti-icing telescoping ducts let hot air from the WTAI duct
flow to the slat spray tubes.

The spray tubes have holes to let the bleed air into the slat
cavity. The air circulates in the cavity and warms the slat. This
prevents ice formation on the slat. The air then bleeds
overboard through holes in the bottom of the slat.

Functional Description

When the wing thermal anti-ice is used on the ground, the

engine and wing anti-ice control panel (P5-11) energizes the
WTAI solenoid valve. This releases the control pressure from
the precooler control valve actuator. This causes the precooler
control valve to open fully.

The wide open precooler control valve gives maximum cooling

to the engine bleed air. This protects the wing leading edges
from overheat damage.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION - INLET COWL ANTI-ICING SYSTEM - INTRODUCTION

Purpose

The inlet cowl anti-icing system keeps ice from forming on the
engine inlet cowl.
General Description

Each engine has an inlet cowl anti-icing system.

For Training Purposes Only

The systems operate in flight and on the ground.

A switch on the P5 forward overhead panel controls the

operation of each inlet cowl anti-icing system.

When the system is on, the inlet cowl thermal anti-ice (TAI)
valve opens. Hot air from the engine bleed air interstage duct
goes through the valve into the hollow inlet cowl. The warm air
increases the temperature in the inlet cowl. The warm air then
goes overboard through a vent at the bottom of the cowl.

Each engine is the source of its inlet cowl thermal anti-icing air.
Thermal anti-icing air is from the engine bleed air interstage
duct, upstream of the pressure regulator and shutoff valve.

An inlet cowl TAI pressure switch monitors the pressure in the

duct downstream of the inlet cowl anti-icing valve.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION - PITOT AND STATIC - PITOT PROBE - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Functional Description

The pitot probe anti-icing system uses electric power and

resistance-type heaters in the probes.

The system uses 115v ac and 28v dc power. Each probe heater
uses 115v ac power. The current detection circuit uses 28v dc
power.
For Training Purposes Only

Each pitot probe has a heater. The heater is part of the probe. If
the heater fails, you must replace the probe.

The window/pitot heat module does these things:

* Controls pitot probe heat

* Gives indication of system status.
Put the control switch to the ON position to turn on probe heat.
This lets 115v ac power go through the current detection
circuitry to the probe heater.

When the probe heater uses current, the current detection

circuit causes the amber light to go out. If the probe heater does
not use current, the circuit causes these indications:

* Amber CAPT PITOT light comes on

* Amber L ELEV PITOT light comes on
* MASTER CAUTION and ANTI-ICE annunciator lights come

on.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION - CTRL CABIN - WINDOW HEAT CONDUCTIVE COATING AND SENSOR

General

The flight compartment windows are of laminate construction.

One layer is made of a conductive coating. Electric current from
the window heat system flows through the conductive coating.
The resistance of the conductive coating produces heat and
warms the window.

Power terminals and bussing strips in the windows connect the

For Training Purposes Only

conductive paste to system power.

Windows 1 and 2 have resistance type temperature sensors for

feedback to the window heat control units. There are two
sensors in each window:

* A primary sensor
* A spare sensor.
The WHCUs use only one sensor. If the primary sensor fails,
use the spare sensor. This prevents window removal for a
single sensor failure.

The other windows do not use window heat control units and do
not have sensors. The thermal switches control the window
heat power to these windows.

The thermal switches are wired in series with the windows they
control.

Put the related side window heat switch to ON to energize the

system. 115v ac power passes through a thermal switch to the
resistive layer of each window. The resistance of the layer to
the current produces heat and warms the window.

The switch opens at a temperature of 110F (43C) or more. This

opens the circuit, and removes power to the windows.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION - WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

General

The windshield wiper system uses 28v dc power.

Two switches on the P5 forward overhead panel control the two

wiper motors.
Functional Description
For Training Purposes Only

The WIPER switch is a four-position (PARK, INT, LOW, HIGH)

selector. It is a voltage divider and sends different voltage
signals to the motor electronic control package to provide
intermittent, low, and high speed wiper operation.

The motor electronic control package controls the motor speed

in response to the WIPER switch position signal.

A thermal switch in the motor assembly cuts out motor

operation if the temperature in the motor gets to 266F (130C).
The thermal switch resets automatically when the motor cools.

The PARK position will cause both blades to rotate outboard to

the lower window edge and stay there.

distilled water and a soft cloth to clean the windshields.
Location

Hydrophobic windshield coatings are on the outside surface of Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or cleaners. Do not use

For Training Purposes Only

General Description Make sure the force of the blades on the window is proper.
Worn or incorrectly set-up windshield wipers wear the coatings.
Hydrophobic (water repellent) windshield coatings are
transparent films. The coatings repel water. This causes
water drops to bead up and roll off the windshields. The
coatings do not affect windshield strength or optical clarity.

The hydrophobic coatings wear down over time. Wear depends

on these things:

* Wiper use
* Route structure
* Windshield maintenance practices.

As the coatings wear, they do not repel water droplets as

satisfactorily. When this happens, apply a new hydrophobic
coating on the windshield. It is not necessary to remove the
windshield to do this.
