A method including providing power to an aircraft probe anti-ice system, monitoring an actual power demand of the aircraft probe anti-ice system, monitoring an air data parameter and atmospheric conditions surrounding an aircraft and calculating an expected power demand of the aircraft probe anti-ice system based on the air data parameters and the atmospheric conditions, comparing the actual power demand of the aircraft probe anti-ice system to the expected power demand, and performing a corrective action if the actual power demand and the expected power demand are different by more than an acceptable amount.

Active aircraft probe heat monitor and method of use

In an icing condition detection system, a circuit provides an output representing impending icing conditions as a function of power consumption of a single element detector. A thermal isolation pedestal includes a detector support end that supports the single element detector and an opposite strut mounting end. A thermal isolation controller controls a thermal isolation pedestal temperature to thermally isolate the single element detector from a strut mounting end.
