Noticed Something Interesting About the FBW A320

You don’t turn wing anti-ice on for takeoff on most aircraft.
Some A320 procedures require you to turn on wing anti-ice when the severe ice detected message comes on.

On the A320 only the three outboard slats are heated anyway and the wing doesn’t even need to be deiced for takeoff :wink:

I never had to use wing anti-ice on the 767 in 10 years.

Engine anti-ice for takeoff is used in icing conditions.
