Pitot/Static Inlets
13.4.4 Probe and Port Heat
All pilot-static and AOA probes and ports are heated through self-regulating internal
heating elements controlled by the ACS that provide anti-ice protection during cold
weather or icing conditions. Pitot-Static system heat is manually controllable through
the PITOT STAT line select key on the ICE protection synoptic page and is in AUTO
for normal operations.
13.4.5 Outside Air Temperature (OAT)
Each OAT probe contains two independent sensors that provide information to the Air
Data Computers and both ACSs. Both computer systems process the data provided
and present OAT for display on the PFDs and Total Air Temperature (TAT) for use by
the FADECs. The OAT sensors measure a temperature that requires a correction
based on aircraft Mach number.
The OAT probes are located on the vertical stabilizer fairing and are outside of ice
accretion areas and do not require heating for anti-icing protection.
