The ANTI ICE ENG p/b FAULT light comes ON:

Only when more than one Engine Anti-ice Valve has failed on each side.

When an Engine Anti-ice Valve is faulty or the valve is in transit when p/b is pushed.

Only when the Wing Anti-ice Valve fails.

Correct! Wrong!

The rain repellent system is operative, when at least one engine is running.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

The rain repellent system is operative, when the engines are running. When sprayed on the windshield, rain repellent fluid increases the surface tension of the water.

On ground, TAT probes are not heated.

On ground, Static ports and TAT probes are not heated.

On ground, Static ports are heated.

Correct! Wrong!

Pitot heating - The change over from low level to high level:

Automatic when TAT is at or below -5 deg.C

Fully automatic.

Automatic when OAT is at or below -5 deg.C

Correct! Wrong!

Hot air from the pneumatic system provides wing anti-ice to:

Outboard slats.

Outboard slats and the horizontal stabilizer.

All slats.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of electrical power supply failure, the Wing Anti-ice Valves:

Close automatically.

Remain in the current position.

Open automatically.

Correct! Wrong!

If icing is not detected for approximately _____, and if wing anti-ice and/or engine anti-ice are on, the ECAM displays the green ICE NOT DETECTED memo.

1 minute.

2 minutes.

3 minutes.

Correct! Wrong!

The aircraft on ground and ANTI ICE WING p/b is set to ON:

Wing Anti-ice Valves will open for 30 seconds and then close as a ground check is initiated.

Wing Anti-ice Valves will remain opened until the ANTI ICE WING p/b is selected OFF.

Engine Anti-ice Valves will open.

Correct! Wrong!

The MFPs, the static probes, and the fourth AOA probe are automatically heated to prevent ice formation.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The pitot probe and the static probes of the ISIS are also automatically heated.

On ground and at ramp, windshields, windows and probes are heated:

On high heat only.

Automatically when engine 2 or 3 is running or if PROBE/WINDOW HEAT p/b is ON .

On low heat when engine 2 or 3 is running and high heat if PROBE/WINDOW HEAT p/b is ON.

Correct! Wrong!

Hot air from the pneumatic system can be used to prevent ice accretion on slats 1, 2 and 3.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

Hot air from the pneumatic system can be used to prevent ice accretion on slats 3, 4 and 5.

The Probe and Window Heat System is controlled by:

2 WHC and 1 p/b.

2 WHC and 2 p/b.

1 WHC and 1 p/b.

Correct! Wrong!

The wing anti-ice valves automatically close if _____

The OAT is above 30 deg.C (86 deg.F).

The OAT or SAT is above 30 deg.C (86 deg.F).

The SAT is above 30 deg.C (86 deg.F).

Correct! Wrong!

The ice protection system protects the critical areas of the aircraft against ice in order to enable unrestricted operation of the aircraft in icing conditions. The ice protection system uses electrical power for:

Window heating, water/waste drain masts heating, outflow valve heating and probe heating.

Window heating, water/waste drain masts heating and probe heating.

Window heating and probe heating.

Correct! Wrong!

When SEVERE ICE DETECTED is displayed:

The engines anti-ice is automatically selected.

The engines and wings anti-ice must be selected without delay.

The engines and wings anti-ice are automatically selected.

Correct! Wrong!

When the ice detection system send the message SEVERE ICE DETECTED:

The engines and wings anti-ice are automatically selected.

All anti-ice system must be selected until message ICE NOT DETECTED is displayed.

The engines and wings anti-ice must be selected.

Correct! Wrong!

If a wiper is blocked when commanded on, the wiper actuator command is stopped, in order to preserve the wiper motor. The normal use of the wiper is recovered by switching the WIPER selector off then on again when the wiper is unblocked.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The ice detection system has _____.

One ice detector that measures ice accretion.

Three ice detectors that measure ice accretion (two main detectors and one standby detector).

Two ice detectors that measure ice accretion.

Correct! Wrong!

There is one ice detector on each side of the fuselage, on the lower part of the nose fuselage. Each ice detector has a probe that measures icing.

If at least one ice detector detects icing conditions, and if engine anti-ice is off, the ECAM triggers the amber A-ICE ICE DETECTED alert.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

If 0.5 mm of ice builds up on any probe, the ice detection system informs the anti-ice control system of icing conditions.

The Captain and First Officer windshields each has a _____

Six-speed electric wiper, including three intermittent speed settings.

Four-speed electric wiper, including two intermittent speed settings.

Five-speed electric wiper, including three intermittent speed settings.

Correct! Wrong!

When ANTI ICE ENG p/b are set to " On ", each engine nacelle is anti-iced by:

Independant bleed air source from the HP compressor.

Electric heat elements.

Pneumatic system.

Correct! Wrong!

There is an inner and outer wing anti-ice valve on each wing. If the left inner valve fails to open:

All slats remain heated.

One slat is not heated and the flight crew must avoid icing conditions.

Slats are not heated.

Correct! Wrong!

If Window Heat Computer 1 (WHC 1) fails: All window heat is lost on left side and it may be recovered.

WHC 2 takes over and Left side-windows remain partially heated.

WHC 2 takes over and all windows remain heated.

The left side window heat is lost.
