janjoensson 54 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Hi! This is a question strictly out of interest, not a support issue. When on ground taxing the CRJ 700, with wing anti-ice turned off, you need a little bit of throttle power to start moving. However, when turning the wing anti-ice on, the engines spool up a bit and the CRJ moves on idle. Is that how the aircraft behaves also in real life? I think it is very handy, but would be interesting to know if anyone knows why and if this happens also in the real plane.

Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted August 3, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 3, 2021 Hello Jan, Yes, this is fairly common behavior with any jet aircraft where the anti-ice system draws bleed air from the engine and directs it to the anti-icing system. Because of this extra bleed air demand for the anti-air system the engines spool up a little on idle settings. You can read more about Ice & Rain Protection from the documents vol5 Aircraft Operating manual part 2 where you'll find this information from page 82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
