Ice Detection System
CAUTION
Ice Detection System is only an advisory system. The pilot has the primary
responsibility for detecting icing conditions through visual cues and activating
ice protection systems.
The system is composed of one ice detector providing an ice signal to the system
when and as long as ice is detected on the sensing element.
The default mode of the system is AUTO with all the protection systems
deactivated – see
Figure 7.14.1 - DE ICE SYSTEM Panel – AUTO Mode with No Ice Detected
