Probe Heat

Electrical heating is provided for probes:

• pitot ports (low heat level on the ground, normal in-flight)
• static ports
• angle of attack probes
• total air temperature probes (not heated on the ground)

Three PHCs control and monitor the captain probes, F/O probes, and standby probes. Probes are heated when:

• automatically, with 1 engine running or in-flight
• manually, with PROBE/WINDOW HEAT pushbutton switches ON
