What are the heating settings for the windshields when the windshield heat switch is in high position?

When the windshield heat switch is set to the high position, it activates the heating elements in both windshields to operate at a high heating setting. This is essential for ensuring that the windshields remain free from ice, fog, or condensation, allowing for optimal visibility during flight.

Simultaneously, the side windows are set to a low heating setting, which helps to prevent excessive heat accumulation and potential damage to the side windows while still maintaining a clear view. The combination of high heating for the windshields and low heating for the side windows effectively balances the need for clear visibility with the careful management of temperature across different cockpit windows.

This understanding is crucial for pilots in managing the aircraft's heating systems effectively, especially during various weather conditions.
