I have a question regarding the duct temperature gauge on the EO's Anti-Ice panel (the top one).
I know that it reads ambient temperature with engines off. But, with say only one, two or three engines does it show a proportionately lower temperature than if all four engines are feeding into the system?
Hope somebody can remember!

Re: Anti-Ice Question
Air being bled off the engine for TAI purposes is temperature controlled to 210 to 230 Degs C by mixing LP & HP compressor bleed air. So providing an engine has an air supply with a temp in excess of 210 - 230 degs, that is what you will get in the duct no matter how many engines are running.
