The control module also contains a circuit to the green
BRAKE DEICE ON annunciator, and has a resetting
circuit interlocked with the gear uplock switch. When
the system is activated, the BRAKE DEICE ON
annunciator should be monitored and the control switch
selected
off
after
the
annunciator
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 approximately 10 minutes. If the
automatic timer has terminated brake deice 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) The L BL AIR FAIL or R BL AIR FAIL
annunciator
may
momentarily
illuminate
during
simultaneous operation of the surface and brake deice
systems at low N, speeds. If the annunciators
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 200C. Applicable 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 takeoff is completed. TGT limitations must also be
observed when setting climb and cruise power. The
brake deice system is not to be operated above 150°C
ambient temperature. During periods of simultaneous
brake deice and surface deice operation, maintain 85%
N1 or higher. If inadequate pneumatic pressure is
developed for proper surface deice boot inflation, select
the brake 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 eng;ne operation.

FUEL SYSTEM ANTI-ICING.
a.
Description. An oil-to-fuel heat exchanger,
located in each engine accessory case, operates
continuously and automatically to heat the fuel
sufficiently to prevent freezing of any water in the fuel.
No controls are involved. Three external fuel vents are
provided on each wing. One is recessed to prevent ice
formation, the second is flush mounted so that no ice
can collect upon it, and the third is electrically heated.
Heating is controlled by two toggle switches located on
the overhead control panel, placarded FUEL VENT
LEFT and RIGHT ON (fig. 2-13). They are protected by
two 5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded FUEL VENT
HEAT L'FT, RIGHT, located on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-7).
To prevent overheat damage to electrically
heated anti-ice jackets, the 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 vent anti-ice circuits are turned ON
as required during the BEFORE TAKEOFF procedures.

WINDSHIELD ELECTROTHERMAL ANTI-ICE
SYSTEM.
a.
Description. Both the pilot's and copilot's
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. The
two
switches,
placarded
WINDSHIELD,
PILOT,
NORMAL OFFHIGH and WINID SHIELD, COPILOT,
NORMAL OFF HIGH, located on the overhead control
panel (fig. 2-13), control system operation. Each switch
controls one electrothermal windshield system. The
circuits of each system are protected by a 5-ampere
circuit breaker and a 50-ampere circuit breaker, which
are not accessible to the flight crew.
To
help
prevent
windshield
cracking,
windshield
heat
should
be
placed
in
NORMAL position for at least 15 minutes
prior to using the HIGH position.
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. The lever lock switch feature prevents
inadvertent switching to the HIGH position during
system shutdown

PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM.
a.
Description. A mixture of bleed air from the
engines and ambient air is available for pressurization to
the cabin at a rate of approximately 10 to 17 pounds per
