However it was maintenance that did it. I questioned it because it wasn't in the MEL
Did what that wasn't in the MEL?
What airplane? Your picture looks suspiciously like a caravan and if that is the case pulling the prop heat CB would probably render the low airspeed awareness system inoperative. Which, I guess, since you're limited to non-icing conditions anyway with no prop heat I guess isn't that big a deal, but it should also be listed on the MEL in that case.The item was the prop anti ice. The particular plane has the electric boots. The MEL allows it to be inoperative. It says nothing about pulling and collaring the breakers. But they did. When I see a new MEL item, I always double check the number because of past incidents. It was then I realized it said nothing about pulling the breaker.

Not in ours. You turn the prop heat on and the laa light illuminates briefly.Isnt the low airspeed awareness system of the pitot heat? I will have to look into when I get the chance. And yes witht the prop anit ice inop you would be limited any way.
