    Prior to starting the engine when doing and anti-ice valve operational check on an F-16C/D, place the anti-ice engine switch to

    • ON

    • OFF

    • START

    • MANUAL

    Correct Answer
    A. OFF
    Explanation
    When doing an anti-ice valve operational check on an F-16C/D, the correct position for the anti-ice engine switch is "OFF". This is because the purpose of the check is to ensure that the anti-ice valve is functioning properly, and by placing the switch in the "OFF" position, it allows for a controlled test of the valve without any anti-ice system activation. Placing the switch in any other position would either activate the anti-ice system or engage the engine start process, which is not necessary for this specific check.
