Abstract
A system and method of operating an engine anti-ice system includes supplying heat from one or more heat sources to one or more components on or within a gas turbine engine, sensing data representative of one or more parameters related to ice crystal accretion, and based on the data, at least selectively inhibiting at least selected ones of the one or more heat sources from supplying heat to at least selected ones of the one or more components on or within the gas turbine engine.
