Ice and Rain Protection

 A330 Ground Training ICE & RAIN PROTECTION

General

The ice and rain protection system allows unrestricted operation of the aircraft in
icing conditions and heavy rain. There are sub-systems as following:

- Wing anti-ice - Probe heat Non-debrief

- Engine anti-ice - Water/Waste anti-ice
- Window heat - Rain removal

Principle

Anti-Ice System

Hot air : - Four outboard leading-edge slats of each wing.

- Engine air intakes.

Electrical heating : - Flight compartment windows.

- Sensors, pitot probes, static ports, TAT probes and angle of attack probes.
- Waste – water drain mast.

Wing Anti-Ice

All time in flight but on

ground 30 sec on

In flight :
Hot air from the pneumatic system heats the four outboard
slats (4-7) of each wing.

On ground :
The system can not operate but the flight crew only can initiate a test
sequence by turning the system ON (valve open only 30 sec).

Wing Anti-Ice

If the system detects a leak during normal

operation, the affected side’s wing anti-ice valve
automatically closes. (refer to pneumatic system)

In the event of an electrical power supply failure or low

pressure condition, the valves close.

Engine Anti-Ice

Engine Anti-ice valve

HP
The valve closes automatically
if air is not available (engine
not running).

In the event of an electrical

power supply failure, this
valve will automatically open.
engine anti-ice valve

Each engine air intake is anti-iced by an

independent air bleed from the high pressure
compressor.

This system can operate on ground.

The air is supplied through the engine anti ice

valve.( control by one p/b for each engine)

Windows

The Windows/ Probes are heated :

 automatically when at least one engine is running, or in flight.
 manually when the flight crew switches ON the PROBE/ WINDOW
HEAT p/b switch

Note : On ground  TAT probes are not heated. (even p/b is selected ON)
 Pitot heating operates at low level.(normal power in flight)

running
 Windshield heating operates at low power.(normal power in flight)

Ice Detection System

An external visual ice indicator with an integrated

light is installed between the two windshields.

The ice detection system has two separate ice detector probes on
the forward lower section of the fuselage. The system operates
automatically and starts at electrical power up.

14

Ice Detection System

The messages which indicate ice is detected or not are:

 ICE DETECTED is shown on E/WD.

 SEVERE ICE DETECTED is shown on E/WD.
 ICE NOT DET is shown on ECAM MEMO page when ice is no longer (about 3 min) detected
after ENG or WING ANTI-ICE p/b is selected ON inflight.

PROBE/WINDOW HEAT pb

In the AUTO position, the probes and windows are

heated automatically:
- in flight or
- on ground, when at least one engine is running
(except the TAT probes which are not heated and the
pitots which are heated at low level).

In the ON position, the probes and windows are

heated continuously (except the TAT probes on
ground).

Normal Operation
After start

SET ANTI ICE as required.

Note: If icing conditions may be expected (OAT 10oC on ground or TAT 10oC in flight,
with visible moisture) .On Anti-ice panel, select ANTI-ICE to ON (ENG and WING) but
WING anti-ice is only operate for test 30 sec.

20

Normal Operation
After takeoff / Climb

SAT = - 50oC

SET ANTI ICE as required.

Note: ENG ANTI ICE must be ON when icing conditions exist, or are anticipated,
except during climb and cruise when the SAT is below – 40oC.

SET ANTI ICE as required.

Note: If potential icing conditions are expected, the engine anti-ice system is switched
ON prior to starting the descent, even if the SAT is below –40oC.

Normal Operation

After Landing Parking

SET ANTI ICE as required. SET ANTI ICE to OFF

Note: If engine anti-ice is used, take care to control taxi speed, especially on
wet or slippery surfaces (ground idle is increased)
