This lesson describes why an ice and rain protection system is needed on aircraft and how ice is
detected during flight.
In the first segment we introduce you to the different ice and rain protection systems of modern jet
aircraft.
In this segment you learn about the need for a wing anti--ice system because of the negative effects
of ice on the aerodynamics of the aircraft.
Here, you look at the engine anti--ice system which prevents the negative effects of ice on engine
operation.
Here, we describe what is necessary on the ground when ice and snow is on the aircraft.
Here, we show you a very simple ice detector.
And here, we continue with a high--tech system.
Finally, we give you an overview of the electrical anti--ice system.
At the end, you can check your knowledge with some questions.

EXERCISE 2
Listen to Page 1 and fill in the blanks.
In this unit we _______________ show you how modern jet aircraft are _______________ against
the negative effects of _______________ and rain.
When an aircraft _______________ in rain, for instance, during _______________ or approach,

the visibility for the pilots is _______________.
To _______________ this problem we have two systems in the aircraft: A windshield wiper for each
pilot and a rain _______________ system which we describe in lesson _______________.

EXERCISE 4
When the aircraft _______________ in icing conditions, you can imagine _______________ more
problems are possible.
An ice buildup on the aircraft, mainly, has the following _______________:
The aerodynamic quality of the aircraft is reduced and its _______________ increases.
The engines can also get problems and the ice can _______________ the probes for the air data
system.
In addition ice on the _______________ will decrease the visibility _______________ than rain.

EXERCISE 6
_______________ we show you the equipment which prevents _______________ negative

effects on the aircraft, we will look at _______________ general _______________ about ice. To
_______________ this new segment, think about this _______________:

EXERCISE 8
_______________, clouds have no ice but have supercooled water _______________.

When these droplets _______________ the aircraft they _______________ from liquid water to
solid ice.
_______________ the temperature of the droplets is _______________ zero and minus 10°C
_______________ ice is produced on the surface.
The ice build up _______________ on the leading edge of the surface. This is the hit point
_______________ the droplets hit the surface.
Not all of the droplets _______________ immediately and _______________ some move aft on
the surface. This results in a clear ice _______________ which becomes larger and thicker the
longer you fly in _______________ conditions.


OCT 2010

EXERCISE 10
Listen to Page 5.
From your knowledge of aerodynamics you should now be able to answer this question:

EXERCISE 11
_______________ the temperature of the droplets is _______________ minus 10°C, mainly rime
ice is produced on the surface.
_______________, the ice build up begins on the leading edge of the surface where the droplets
hit the _______________.
But these very _______________ droplets freeze _______________ and build up a rime ice layer
on the leading edge _______________.
When you fly at _______________ speed in this condition, the rime ice layer forms a
_______________ double horn _______________.

PAGE 9
EXERCISE 16
You have seen that the effect of ice on the aircraft is _______________ negative and can even
_______________ dangerous. It must therefore _______________ prevented by either not flying
in _______________ conditions or by the use of an anti ice system.
In jet aircraft, the anti ice system _______________ the wing leading edge _______________ the
ice build up begins. _______________ uses warm air _______________ the engines and is
therefore _______________ the thermal wing anti ice system.
You _______________ learn _______________ this system in lesson 2.


REV2/ OCT 2010
CBT - ATA 30
PAGE 10
EXERCISE 18
_____ _______________ _____ the negative effect on aerodynamics and a higher weight, the
engines can also _______________ problems when _______________ _______________ an
ice build up.
To _______________ this, please perform this _______________.
TASK : Click on the area of the engine where ice build up can happen.


OCT 2010
CBT - ATA 30
PAGE 11
EXERCISE 20
Ice _______________ two important negative effects on the engine _______________.

These are: A disturbed air _______________ that reduces the _______________ of the engine
and can lead to a compressor _______________.
And if the engine sucks in pieces of ice, these _______________ can damage fan blades or inlet
_______________. This means that the engine will stop _______________.


REV2/ OCT 2010
CBT - ATA 30
PAGE 12
EXERCISE 22
_______________ prevent ice build _______________ _______________ the engine inlet, all
jet engines have _______________ thermal anti ice system, you will also learn _______________
this _______________ lesson 2.
If _______________ aircraft has _______________ center engine as shown here, you must make
sure that ice pieces _______________ the fuselage do not hit the engine.
Usually the antennas get this ice build _______________ and therefore they are also heated
_______________ warm air.
_______________ the next segment you learn something else _______________ ice and snow.


OCT 2010

PAGE 13
EXERCISE 24
The two thermal anti ice systems are very _______________ at _______________ ice build up

TASK : Select the correct answer.

REV2/ OCT 2010
CBT - ATA 30
PAGE 14
EXERCISE 26
Anti ice systems prevent ice build up on _______________ aircraft areas during flight. You

EXERCISE 28
_______________ flight, the thermal anti--ice systems can only do _______________ task when
they are switched _______________ before any ice builds up.
On the other _______________, it is not permitted to _______________ the systems on
_______________ of the time. This is because _______________ hot air from the engines
_______________ their performance and economy.
This _______________ that the pilot must get _______________ information when the aircraft
_______________ into icing conditions. This is the _______________ of an ice detector.

CBT - ATA 30
PAGE 16
EXERCISE 30
_______________ you see an ice detector of _______________ airbus aircraft. You find it
_______________ the two windscreens where it is in _______________ of both pilots.
When the pilots _______________ ice on this detector, then, there is _______________ ice on

CBT - ATA 30
PAGE 17
EXERCISE 32
Now we _______________ at a different type of ice detector.

It is installed near the air data _______________ and, therefore, is not _______________ to the

PAGE 19
EXERCISE 36
When ice _______________ up on the ice detector, the probe tip _______________ heavier and
this _______________ the frequency of the vibration.
When the frequency _______________ below a certain _______________ a feedback circuit
activates the heating. This _______________ the ice on the probe tip and the frequency increases
_______________.
