legofreak85 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Hi there! I recently did a flight with the SAAB after a long time and during final I got a master warning for "ELEC" and I looked up and saw my batteries have failed. They were too hot (75°) and turned off automatically. When I turned them to override they turned on again. What did I do wrong to cause hot batteries? Thx Quote
legofreak85 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Posted December 21, 2021 Ps. Another question: Even though every anti ice was on, my aircraft started to loose speed in snowy conditions and stalled... I am using X Enviro and never experienced this in any other plane. Why did my plane loose speed even though anti ice was on? I turned it on when I started to taxi (10 minutes ago) Quote
Cam Posted December 26, 2021 Report Posted December 26, 2021 Yep, I found the same icing/stall problem, but if you anticipate icing conditions and turn AI on before ice starts forming you can avoid the situation you describe. Also, if it starts to accumulate and the AI is not shedding it, descending to a lower altitude with warmer OAT can help. Cheers. Quote

Anti Ice was on during takeoff (I turned it on right after engine start up and taxied to the runway, anti ice was on for 10 minutes before takeoff) and what about the hot battery (post above)? Thx Any info, please @Cam? Edited January 4, 2022 by legofreak85 Quote
Tom4 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 Regarding the “anti” ice. Saab has good rich system for wing leading edges deicing. Which is operating and succesfully removing ice only after some accumulation of ice, otherwise too soon using it will make edge of the wing much easier to keep ice. But, the problem with Leading Edge Saab is that automatic function of wing deice is not working. You have to use manual click once in a while… Quote

Tom4 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 Yes I have of course. Automatic switch will activate only one loop of deicing process Quote
JGregory Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 3 hours ago, Tom4 said: Yes I have of course. Automatic switch will activate only one loop of deicing process There are three minutes between cycles when using "CONT". Turn on the "BOOT IND" and observe the annunciators as they cycle between the diff boots, then extinguish for 3 minutes, then cycle again. I have no other reports of this not working. Quote
N1K Posted January 24, 2022 Report Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) X-plane is probably a touch aggressive, but at the same time an A model doesn’t have a huge amount of thrust and would also have been given a hit of de-ice fluid before departure. At 2000ft it should climb still, dare say xp gave you severe icing which a saab can only escape from, not hang around in. That screen shot the speed is below minimum clean ice, so it probably would stall at that point IRL. You want to be 160 kts and use IAS mode for a climb in ice. Edited January 24, 2022 by N1K 1 Quote
