CAV Ice Protection System Slated For 4th Quarter Deliveries On TTx
CAV Ice Protection’s patented TKS system for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI) is scheduled to enter service with Cessna’s new single-engine TTx aircraft as early as the fourth quarter of 2013, or early 2014.
“The Cessna TTx can now be ordered with the optional CAV Ice Protection FIKI system,” said Jodi Noah, Senior Vice President, Cessna Single Engine/Propeller Aircraft. “With ice protection and an operating ceiling of 25,000 feet, the TTx will give pilots greater flexibility to plan flights in varying weather conditions.”
“We are pleased to work with Cessna to maximize TKS ice protection system performance in the TTx and look forward to first deliveries of the TTx with TKS later this year,” said Ken Weaver, AV Ice Protection Vice President – Sales and Marketing. “The Cessna TTx TKS system by CAV Ice Protection is easy to use and easy to maintain. When delivered this FIKI system will be approved to the latest and most rigorous standards by the Federal Aviation Administration,” Weaver said.
CAV Ice Protection’s TKS system uses flush-mounted titanium leading edge panels for the wings and horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The panels have laser-drilled holes that secrete TKS ice protection fluid.
Intrinzic™ monitoring of the TKS ice protection system is fully integrated into the TTx’s Garmin G2000 cockpit display, indicating operational status. Pilots can select three flow rate settings via panel switches depending on the existing icing conditions: NORM, HIGH and MAX. The system includes a backup mode to provide pump redundancy. The propeller and the windshield are also protected by TKS fluid.
