Works like a charm, just try it next time You have it ,even if you have a heater.
I think the hot air rices as it exits forward and those blades conduct heat nicely, composite blades must be an different thing . More a thing for us 25 minutes strivers!!??
The interesting part is taxi out for deice and getting airborne 15 to 25 min later.
Some 70% N1 for sheding is a must for T/O but not always easy on contaminated rwy, never mind on taxiways or holding point. ( lover DU check vib, up to 30sec if needed,ATC loves it, slot just expired and holdovertime not getting better,,F/O can feel vibration,,,, TOGA TIME!!
My favorite time of the day.
Oh , and dont forget to brief him. : If we slide and no vib we go!!
At full 26k no vib , you are good!
