Potential airspeed fluctuations, 'STALL PROTECT FAIL' and 'RUDDER LIMITER FAULT' Crew Alerting System (CAS) messages may be experienced after the aircraft has been in heavy or extended rain in flight or on the ground.
To clear the 'STALL PROTECT FAIL' message that may be due to water ingestion, the following troubleshooting can be used:
CAUTION: ENSURE THE PROBES COVERS ARE REMOVED.
- Activate the probe heaters on ground with the following limitations: The probe heaters should not be activated on ground in still air for longer than 5 minutes.
- After five minutes, if the messages are still present, assume that water in the probe is not the cause of the failure.
- Visually inspect the probes for contamination that may be preventing proper operation of the probes. Refer to Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) tasks for cleaning of the Pitot-Static Probe and cleaning of the Standby Pitot Probe.
- Water accumulation further in the line beyond the probe should also be considered if the fault does not clear. Visually inspect the drain tube for the pitot line per AMM to ensure that no moisture is present.
To clear the 'STALL PROTECT FAIL' message that may be due to water ingestion into the Pitot Probes, the procedure included in the AW300-27-34-0010 could be followed.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Reset the following circuit breakers and perform the Pilot Activated Test (PAT) of the Stall Protection System on the Systems Test control-panel located on the center pedestal.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
