Which components of Anti Ice are pneumatic?

The correct answer identifies the components of the anti-ice system on the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS that utilize pneumatic mechanisms. The Wing Inboard Leading Edge and Outboard Slats are equipped with pneumatic anti-ice systems designed to prevent ice accumulation on critical wing surfaces during flight.

Pneumatic systems in aviation often involve the use of compressed air to actively manage temperature and prevent the formation of ice in critical areas. In this case, the air is routed through the leading edges of the wings and slats, which helps maintain airflow characteristics and overall lift during icy conditions, essential for safe flight operations.

The other components mentioned do not operate using pneumatic methods. Engine air lips and cockpit windshields may use different forms of anti-icing technologies, such as electrical heating elements. Pitot and static pressure probes focus on pressure measurement and may have their own heating systems, while AoA sensors and water drains are concerned with angle of attack measurement and drainage, respectively, rather than ice prevention through pneumatic means. Thus, the pneumatic function of the wing components plays a vital role in the overall safety and performance of the aircraft in winter weather conditions.
