This panel consists of two panels, the Anti Ice Panel and the Antenna Selector Panel. Using the Anti Ice Panel
anti-icing functions are powered. If ice formation is detected, the INLET ICING warning light becomes lit on
the
Caution Panel. Using the Antenna Selector Panel, the pilot can
optimise the signals of IFF / UHF. The Anti Ice / Antenna Selector Panel is located at the
right console.
