Sky-High Success: Ace the FAA AMT Airframe Practice Exam 2025 – Soar to New Heights!

Question: 1 / 1030

Where are the heat sensors located on most aircraft with electrically heated windshields?

On the windshield surface

Imbedded in the glass

Most aircraft with electrically heated windshields have heat sensors embedded in the glass rather than on the surface or attached to the frame. This is because embedding the sensors allows for more accurate temperature readings, while also protecting the sensors from damage or interference. Additionally, having the sensors within the glass allows for a more evenly distributed heat across the windshield. Options A and C are incorrect because they do not provide accurate temperature readings and can potentially hinder the effectiveness of the heater. Option D is also incorrect because the heat sensors are located on the windshield itself, not within the cockpit.
