SECTION II AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS MODEL 750
ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION
The anti-ice systems are designed to prevent ice formation on the pitot tubes, static ports, angle-of-attack probes, ram air temperature (RAT) probes, engines, wings, wing roots, horizontal stabilizer leading edges, windshields, and overboard water drain lines. The vertical stabilizer does not require anti-icing. The various anti-icing systems use electrical heating elements or hot engine bleed air, and are activated by switches and knobs on the instrument panels.
There are many engine instrument and crew alerting system (EICAS) messages which pertain to operation of the anti-icing systems. Some are discussed here, but most are covered in detail under Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS), in Section Three of this manual.
