Tks guards the surface of your aircraft from freezing by evenly dispersing a freezing point depressant solution across the aircraft frame preventing the accretion of ice.
Tks anti ice fluid.
Restock your tks fluid supply and fly through winter.
The system is designed to be anti icing but is also capable of de icing as tks fluid chemically breaks the bond between ice and frame allowing the system to shed any accumulated ice and prevent any ice build up thereafter.
The tks ice protection system manufactured by cav ice protection is a fluid based ice protection system used to help aircraft safely exit in flight icing conditions.
Tks de icing fluid complies with al 5 dtd406b and is approved by british aerospace.
Aviation laboratories aircraft wing de icer is approved for all tks systems.
Tks is an ice protection system that keeps ice off of the aircraft while maintaining aircraft performance in the icing environment.
Diamond aircraft hs 125 hawker cirrus beechcraft cessna piper mooney kodiak hawker and many other air crafts are equipped with the tks weeping wings de icing systems.
Plus tks systems only have one moving part.
But there is one real disadvantage to tks.
Benefits of tks 406b in flight ice protection fluid.
An antifreeze solution is pumped from panels mounted on the horizontal and vertical stabilizers and leading edges of the wings.
Tks 406b is the preferred ice protection fluid for general aviation.
The system uses a glycol based fluid to cover the critical surfaces of an aircraft and prevent the risk of any ice forming on the leading edges of the wings.
