Talk:Ice protection system

the TKS-anti-ice-system works with a fluid (www.weepingwings.com). What stand the 3 letters TKS for?--84.137.39.121 20:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Good start, but.....

This article is a good start, but needs some work. How about some diagrams? For example, to show how a de-icing boot works. And what about these "actuators" mentioned in the article? How, exactly, do they work? What do they look like? It's not clear at all from this article. Some drawings and a more detailed description would be very helpful.

Merge discussion

It seems we have three different articles on this topic that could be effectively combined into one article:

• Atmospheric icing
• Ice protection system
• Icing conditions

I would suggest that we merge all the articles into Atmospheric icing, possibly renaming it to Atmospheric icing conditions.

The FAA website frequently refers to Atmospheric icing conditions and also uses this terminology in the FAR: []

What are your thoughts?

For an alternative proposal, see De-ice#Reorg proposal. Lfstevens (talk) 15:25, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Weeping wing merger

I suggest merging Weeping wing with this article. Probably should be put somewhere around 'TKS Ice Protection'. Abcjake (talk) 05:45, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support - makes sense. - Ahunt (talk) 21:31, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
• Support - I agree with this merger proposal. - Samf4u (talk) 14:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Compass

I suppose that the link in "They can also cause compass deviation errors" should point to an actual compass, not the gyroscopic "HI".
