Window overheat test

Featured Replies

With the window heat switches selected OFF, if you apply the OVHT test the amber lights illuminate, and then extinguish when you release the test switch as expected.With the window heat switches selected ON, if you apply the OVHT test the amber lights illuminate, but does NOT extinguish when you release the test switch.Can someone with access to a 737 try this please? :(

This is normal. Refer to Supplemental normal procedures (FCOM Vol 1) sp3.5. The lights as part of the test will remain on for approximately 1 minute.

With the window heat switches selected to OFF, If you apply the OVHT test the Amber "OVERHEAT" light should not be illuminating because the computer that is controlling the window heating system has no electrical power when the window heat switch's are OFF.With the window heat switches selected to ON, If you apply the OVHT test the Amber "OVERHEAT" light should be illuminating and stay's on and within 70 seconds the ON light extinguishes. To reset the amber "OVERHEAT" light set the window heat switch's to OFF and than back to ON.

Real life commercial pilot, IRME, CPL & of course a computer pilot.After deciphering the acronyms he used: Instrument rating multi-engine land, Commercial Pilot's License. Strange way to say it since you would normally just say "CMEL" for Commercial Multi-Engine Land (instrument privileges are implied unless otherwise stated). Oh well. The real life commercial pilot part, I suppose, actually means that he's an airline pilot. :(

Uh? In NGX, with the heat switches OFF, applying the overheat test illuminates the the OVERHEAT lights. Releasing the test extinguishes the lights.

Hi guys, yes I am, the CPL stands for Commercial Pilot Licence, and that I took on a single engine. I also just achieved a Type Rating on 737 CL/NG. ;-) So Zach that is why there do not stand multiengine commercial pilot Licence. ;-) And the Instrument Rating was on a Seneca. ;-) Zach - where are you from? :-) Regarding the CMEL, that is not the way we say it here in Denmark. ;-) Maybe I should write it in another way lol! :-) Regards Jakob
