As my very estimated colleague has written above, the 55°C for departure in or into icing conditions are a different animal and take ages to reach on occasion.
This is what it says for a PW121 engine:
"Oil temperature should be maintained above 71ºC to ensure fuel anti-ice protection. If lower oil temperature are encountered, monitor directly fuel
temperature must be greater than 45ºC to ensure adequate inlet splitter anti-icing."
Errors in sentence structure by ATR.
But, can someone explain the inlet splitter anti-icing for me.
