Hello Guys

 

I'm having problems to find how to properly setup the anti ice system for a proper level 1 and level 2 configurations.

I did the tutorial flight and a couple more and i have most of the thing on this new baby of mine.

Also, I've been searching and reading but I couldn't find anything that tell me how to setup the switches.

 

Basically I setup the anti ice, the way I thought it was, but when the moment of the checklist comes, the FO answers "Are you sure?" after I said Level 1 for the anti ice.

Clearly I'm missing something.

 

Thanks for any help!!

Did you also check the Majestic Dash 8 aircraft menu?

 

Is everything else working ok?

Sorry,  I didn't get that,

As far as I know it is.

 

Maybe I didn't made myself clear. If that's the case, I'm sorry, English it is not my first language.

I really didn't meant that something wasn't working, I just wanted to know how to setup the anti ice panel when required, because I don't know how. And this is making that the FO is answering me "Are you sure?" when I reply "Level 1" for the Anti Ice on the After Start Checklist.

No worries Bryan.

I found the tutorial on the Majestic web.

Thanks!!

 

Level 1, used in all conditions:

PITOT HEAT switches…….. ON

WINDSHIELD HEAT……. as necessary

 

Level 2, used on the ground when icing conditions exist, temperature +10ºC or below, in flight +5ºC or below

Level 1 Items……………..ON

Prop Heat………………….ON

Engine Intake Doors…..OPEN

REF SPEEDS INCR………SWITCH ON (inflight above 1000ft AGL ONLY!)

 

Level 3, In flight during visual accretion, or ICE DETECTED displayed on ED

Level 2 + 1 Items……………ON

Airframe Mode Select……..FAST (takeoff when above 1000ft AGL, Holds, approaches, landings) or SLOW (in cruise flight when sufficient to remove ice)

One question though.

 

In the tutorial he uses 3 levels. But Fs2crew only expect Level 1 or Level 2.

In this case Level 1 would be the level 2, and Level 2 would be Level 3, according to my last post?

 

Thanks.

What are you basing that on?

What are you basing that on?

On the responses available for that item on that checklist, according to the Fs2Crew manual, page 25.

Level 3 is only used in the Air, so you wouldn't all it during the After Start Checklist.

 

From the manual:

 

Notes:

1. Ice Protection allowed responses:

CHECKED LEVEL ONE
CHECKED LEVEL TWO

Special note: Minimum anti-ice setting is Level One for all flights.

You are right.. 

 

Thanks again Bryan!!

Level 2 and Level 3 must be turned off when landing and reaching 1000 agl? Or turn off only level 3? Or remains on until landing?

I'm not sure, you might want to ask the Dash 8 aircraft forum.  That's something a current Dash 8 pilot would know.
