TKS Know Ice Protection

System Specifications
Unsurpassed Performance
No other ice protection system can provide the same level
of protection as TKS.
Panel Construction:
Complete Airframe Protection
Tank Capacity:
Complete protection for the wings, tail surfaces, propeller.
and windshield.
Endurance:
Ease of Operation
Just turn the System "ON" when icing is encountered and
"OFF" when leaving icing conditions.
Up to 2~ Hours of Ice Protection
A full tank of ice protection fluid provides up to 2% hours of
continuous anti-ice protection.
Little Reduction in Aircraft Performance
There is virtually no loss in aircraft performance as a result
of installing the TKS system.
The TKS systemweighs39 Ibs.withoutfluid (lighterthan

"Anyone flying turbocharged airplanes or wintertime
must have this system. The TKS system gives }
airplane year-round capability. The TKS system work~
better than boots. It eliminates the runback probl
eliminates stress on vacuum systems and provides ad
protection if you encounter in-flight hail. Icing can kill
so don't play Russian Roulette with your life or your 10

As the system is used, it flushes out any accumulation of
debris on the panels. Glycol, the main ingredient in the ice
protection fluid, has cleaning properties and will not harm
the paint finish of the aircraft.

prevents the formation of ice. In heavier icing condition
cases of accumulated ice, the MAXIMUMmode increases
system flow rate to shed ice. A significant feature of both m<
is the elimination of runback ice.
The weight added to an aircraft as a result of a TI.<S
protection installation is minimal. The TKS system weighs 3'
without fluid. The system weighs 98 lb with its full complen
of ice protection fluid.

Your aircraft can be equipped with complete airframe ice
protection. The TKS ice protection system, certified for flight
into known icing conditions, is available for the M20K (252
and Encore), M20M, M20R, and M20S Mooney aircraft.
The effectiveness of the TKS ice protection concept has been
documented by NASA through extensive testing in the icing
research tunnel at the Lewis Research Center. The Hawker 125
series of business jets has used TKS ice protection as standard
equipment for nearly 30 years.
The TKS system offers you more time to make crucial decisions
if you encounter icing conditions. Even with a flight into known
icing TKS system, one should always take immediate steps to
exit icing conditions should they be encountered.

Laser-drilled titanium panels are installed on the leading edges of
the wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers. A slinger ring is
installed on the propeller and a spraybar is positioned in front of
the windshield for protection. A glycol-based fluid is pumped
through the panels at a low rate. The fluid flows over the
protected surfaces and keeps the aircraft virtually ice free.
The glycol-based
fluid is pumped from
a tank by individually
selectable metering

pumps, through a
microfilter
to ....
proportioning units. ~
The proportioning I
I
units
contain
calibrated capillary
tubes which divide
the flow to the individual needs of the porous panels and the
slinger ring. The windshield is also protected by two on-demand
pumps. Either pump will supply fluid to the spraybar for
windshield de-icing.
A significant advantage to the pilot is the simple operation of the
system. Just turn the system "ON" when icing is encountered
and "OFF" when leaving the icing condition.
Only one choice of operation exists for the pilot when using the
system: NORMAL or MAXIMUMmode. Using the NORMAL
