Hi All,

I have a couple of questions regarding use of ENG/WING anti ice and CONTINUOUS IGNITION which i would appreciate some clarification on.

Q1. Where can i find the increase in fuel consumption with the use of ENG/WING anti ice ? I have tried looking everywhere in the FCOM's but i just can't seem to find anything appropriate. I have tried some experiments while flying on fuel consumption per minute. but it didn't turn out conclusive.

Q2. Many people i fly with don't seem to use WING anti ice when passing icing conditions but only use ENG anti ice. Is there a bigger penalty on fuel or is there any other explanation ??
