8.0 TKS SYSTEM
BASIC DESCRIPTION
The TKS ice protection system is a system
that releases glycol based fluid through
laser-drilled panels on the leading edges of
the wings, horizontal, vertical stabilizers and
other components to prevent ice
accumulation. A slinger ring on the
propeller also emits fluid to keep the prop,
windshield, cargo pod and landing gear free
of ice.
