gear up-lock switch. When the system is activated,
the BRAKE DEICE ON light should be monitored and
the control switch selected off after the light
extinguishes otherwise, on the next gear extension the
system will restart without pilot action. The control
switch should also be selected off, if deice operation
fails to self-terminate after about 10 minutes. If the
automatic timer has terminated brake deicer operation
after the last retraction of the landing gear, the landing
gear must be extended in order to obtain further
operation of the system.
(1) BL AIR FAIL lights may momentarily
illuminate during simultaneous operation of the surface
deice and brake deice systems at low N1 speeds. If
lights
immediately
extinguish,
they
may
be
disregarded.
(2) During certain ambient conditions, use of
the brake deice system may reduce available engine
power, and during flight will result in a TGT rise of
approximately 20°C. Appropriate performance charts
should be consulted before brake deice system use. If
specified power cannot be obtained without exceeding
limits, the brake deice system must be selected off
until after take-off is completed. TGT limitations must
also be observed when setting climb and cruise power.
The brake deice system is not to be operated above
15°C ambient temperature. The system is not to be
operated for longer than 10 minutes (one deicer cycle)
with the landing gear retracted. If operation does not
automatically terminate after approximately 10 minutes
following gear retraction, the system must be manually
selected off. During periods of simultaneous brake
deice and surface deice operation, maintain 85% N1 or
higher.
If
inadequate
pneumatic
pressure
is
developed for proper surface deicer boot inflation,
select the break deice system off. Both sources of
pneumatic bleed air must be in operation during brake
deice system use. Select the brake deice system off
during single-engine operation. Circuit protection is
provided by a 5-ampere circuit breaker, placarded
BRAKE DEICE, on the overhead circuit breaker panel.
2-66. FUEL SYSTEM ANTI-ICING.
a. Description. An oil-to-fuel heat exchanger,
located on each engine accessory case, operated
continuously and automatically to heat the fuel
sufficiently to prevent freezing of any water in the fuel.
No controls are involved. Two external fuel vents are
provided on each wing. One is recessed to prevent
ice formation; the other is electrically heated and is
controlled by two toggle switches on the overhead
control panel, placarded FUEL VENT LEFT / ON /
RIGHT, Figure 2 -15. They are protected by two
5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded FUEL VENT
HEAT / RIGHT or LEFT, located on the overhead
circuit breaker panel. Each fuel governing line is
protected against ice by an electrically heated jacket.
A 7.5-ampere circuit breaker located on the overhead
circuit breaker panel, placarded FUEL CONTR HEAT /
LEFT or RIGHT protects the heater. The bleed air
pneumatic line is protected against ice by wrap
insulation.
CAUTION
To prevent overheat damage to electrically
heated anti-ice jackets, FUEL VENT heat
switches should not be turned ON unless
cooling air will soon pass over the jackets.
b. Normal Operation. For normal operation,
switches for the FUEL VENTS anti-ice circuits are
turned ON as required during the Before Takeoff
procedures. Chapter 8 contains normal operations.
2-67. WINDSHIELD ELECTROTHERMAL ANTI-ICE
SYSTEMS.
a. Description.
Both
pilot
and
copilot
windshields are provided with an electrothermal
anti-ice system. Each windshield is part of an
independent electrothermal anti-ice system. Each
system is comprised of the windshield assembly with
heating wires sandwiched between glass panels, a
temperature
sensor
attached
to
the
glass,
an
electrothermal controller, two relays, a control switch,
and two circuit breakers. Two switches, placarded
FAST
WSHLD
ANTI-ICE
PILOT
/
COPILOT
NORMAL / OFF / HI C D T1 and WSHLD ANTI-ICE
PILOT / COPILOT NORMAL / OFF / HIGH T2 , are
located on the overhead control panel, Figure 2-15.
Each switch controls one electrothermal windshield
system. The NORMAL position energizes only the low
power mode. The high position energizes the high
power mode. When energized, the system cycles on
at 94 ± 6°F and off at 105 ± 5°F. The circuits of each
system are protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker,
which are not accessible to the flight crew. The 50-
ampere circuit breakers are located in the power
distribution panel under the floor ahead of the main
spar. The 5-ampere circuit breakers are located on
panels forward of the instrument panel.
b. Normal Operation. Two levels of heat are
provided through the three position switches placarded
NORMAL in the aft position, OFF in the center
position, and HIGH after lifting the switch over a detent
and moving it to the forward position. In the NORMAL
position, heat is provided for the major portion of each
windshield. In the HIGH position, heat is provided at a
higher watt density to a smaller portion of the
windshield.
