How many ice detectors are installed on the Challenger 300/350 aircraft?

The Challenger 300/350 aircraft is equipped with two ice detectors to monitor ice formation on the wings. This dual installation provides redundancy and ensures that the aircraft can effectively detect ice in a variety of atmospheric conditions. Each ice detector operates independently, allowing the aircraft to maintain safety and performance standards by providing accurate ice detection information. Having two detectors allows for more reliable operation, as one can serve as a backup if the other fails or provides inconclusive data. This design choice enhances situational awareness for the flight crew, enabling timely decision-making regarding de-icing procedures during flight.
