Now if there is a day where you dont need the wing anti icing, you can improvise and get creative but I after consultation with the maintenance of course. Taking off with the respective bleed off (and crossbleed shut) would keep you off the penalty and then select it on after clean up. But I wouldnt do it by myself, better get advice from your technical pilot and maintenance.
I get your point. However, what my 6 years on the Bus have taught me is that this is not a mechanical aircraft; there’s way too many software logics for each of the systems, quite a bit of them are interconnected, and things can get pretty messy pretty quickly if you start flipping switches around.
We still haven’t found a way to implement this penalty though. Our best guess seems to be to select total anti ice for landing on the FS software, as it is the only way we can account for wing anti ice on.
