Where is the wing leading-edge anti-icing switch located?

• A. On the overhead switch panel
• B. On the pilot's yoke
• C. On the center pedestal
• D. In the flight deck side panel

Answer: (A)

Wing leading-edge anti-icing is a cockpit system control, and in the Beechjet 400A it sits on the overhead switch panel. This placement keeps the anti-ice function with other essential cockpit controls and away from the primary flight controls and engine/landing gear levers found on the center pedestal. The pilot’s yoke doesn’t house such switches, and the side panels aren’t the standard home for anti-ice controls. Placing the switch on the overhead panel gives quick, easy access for both pilots when icing conditions are encountered, making it the sensible location.
