## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON APPROACH AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED HEAVY ICING CONDITIONS. AFTER LANDING THE INBOARD HALF OF WING FOUND COVERED WITH ICE. WING DEICE DISTRIBUTOR VALVE WAS CYCLED BUT DID NOT WORK. VALVE REPLACED. A MOD WILL BE INTRODUCED TO INSTALL HEATER AROUND THE VALVES AS THE PREVIOUS VALVE HAD MOISTURE IN IT.
