lmp Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I'm not sure if it's a bug or working as intended. I tried to do a test of the anti-ice system during start up, while the engines were running at idle correction with the generators off. I had no ground power and the APU, APU generator and equipment test were on. I had no current on the ammeter, even though the anti-ice systems were turned on manually. Once I had the engines on full power and the generators on, there was an indication on the ammeter.
AlphaOneSix Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Rotor anti-ice requires 204-volt AC, which is only available when the main generators are on and the rotor RPM is above around 89%.
