The hot air is sprayed from the holes in the leading edge piccolo tubes onto the wing leading edge skin. The air then exhausts through groups of outlets on the wing lower surface. A control sensor is installed in each wing inboard leading edge. It monitors the temperature of the wing leading edges and sends the signal to the controller. In normal mode the wing skin temperature is maintained to 107°C by providing more or less airflow. In STBY selection the wing skin temp will modulate between 65°-82°C. An overheat sensor triggers a warning when the skin temp reaches 148°C. The airfoil surfaces on the tail area are not anti-iced.

It is also used in an emergency to supply a flow of alr to the flight and passenger compartments. In this case ram air is directly supplied to the left air conditioning supply duct. The pressure bulkhead check valve prevents the backflow of the air in either air conditioning ducts. When opening the Ram air valve, the cabin will not depressurize.

The underwater locating device is attached to the front panel of the recorder. If the aircarft goes into fast deceleration with a g-force of 2 in the forward and down direction, or crashes, the impact switch opens and removes power to the voice and Flight Data Recorder (FDR) to prevent tape erasure. The CVR is on whenever power is on the A/C. The FOR will comie on when beacon or strobe lights are switched on, or with Weight Off Wheels.

There are two motor assemblies in the HSTA. Each motor assembly includes a motor, sensors and an electromechanical brake. The screwjack is connected to a gearbox module which is connected to each of the HSTA motors by a torque limiter. When electrical signals from either channel of the HSTCU are sent to the motor control unit, the electromechanical brakes on the HSTA motors are released. The brakes send a feedback signal to the HSTCU which controls the operation of the motors. The output of the gearbox module then tus the screwjack. This causes the time delay between trim input on the control wheel and aircreft aerodynamic reaction.

Each anti-jam mechanism contains a quadrant, interconnected by anti-jam circuit cables. Should one of the control circuits become jammed, the pilot can overcome the restraining force of the breakout bungees by applying increased pressure on the rudder pedals. In operation, the command input is to a connecting bellcrank which is affixed to the cable pully at point A and to the connecting rod to the breakout bungee at point B. In.a no-jammed state, the bellcrank pivots at point B, causing rotation of the pully through the attaching point A. Should a cable jam occur, point A becomes the pivot point and the belicrank is allowed to rotate against the bungee spring force. System Layout Rudder PCU System RUDDER ANTI AUXILARY.
