So...you heavy jet operators that almost never have used wing anti ice, what is the Airbus/Boeing requirement to use it? Do they say to wait until ice is observed on the wing first, and then turn it on?

Light jets seem to have a temperature requirement to have wing (and engine) anti ice on, if in cloud or visibility is less than 2 miles.
