Skip to contentENG ANTI–ICE Lights
- Illuminated (amber):
- Indicates the cowl thermal anti-ice system has been inhibited due to a system failure.
- Indicates an engine core anti-ice valve has failed closed.
COWL ANTI–ICE Lights
- Illuminated (amber): Indicates an overpressure condition in the duct downstream of the engine cowl anti-ice valve.
COWL VALVE Lights
- Illuminated (amber):
- Momentary: Related cowl anti-ice valve is in transit.
- Steady: Cowl anti-ice valve position disagrees with the related ENGINE ANTI–ICE switch position.
- Extinguished:
- Related cowl anti-ice valve is closed (switch OFF), or
- Related cowl anti-ice valve is open (switch ON).
ENGINE ANTI–ICE Switches
- ON:
- Related cowl anti-ice valve is open.
- Stick shaker logic is set for icing conditions.
- Green TAI indication shows on the engine display.
- OFF:
- Related cowl anti-ice valve is closed.
- Stick shaker logic returns to normal if wing anti-ice has not been used in flight.
- Green TAI indication on the engine display extinguishes.
Thermal Anti–Ice Indications
- Illuminated: “TAI” indication on Engine Display
- Green: Cowl anti-ice valve(s) are open.
- Amber: Cowl anti-ice valve is not in the position indicated by the related engine anti-ice switch.
Wing VALVE Lights
- Illuminated (amber):
- Momentary: Related wing anti-ice valve is in transit.
- Steady: Wing anti-ice valve position disagrees with the related WING ANTI–ICE switch position.
- Extinguished:
- Related wing anti-ice valve is closed (switch OFF), or
- Related wing anti-ice valve is open (switch ON).
WING ANTI–ICE Switch
- OFF: Wing anti-ice control valves are closed.
- ON (in the air):
- Wing anti-ice control valves are open.
- Stick shaker logic is set for icing conditions.
- Note: Stick shaker logic remains set for icing conditions for the remainder of the flight, regardless of subsequent WING ANTI–ICE switch position.
- ON (on the ground):
- Wing anti-ice control valves open if:
- Thrust on both engines is below the takeoff warning setting.
- Temperature inside both distribution ducts is below thermal switch activation temperature.
- Control valves close if:
- Either engine thrust is above the takeoff warning setting, or
- The thermal switch is activated in either distribution duct.
- The switch remains ON.
- Switch trips OFF at lift-off.
