ABSTRACT A pilot valve for inflating an inflatable member of an apparatus for deicing an ice accreting surface, for example a leading edge surface; the pilot valve comprises: i) an accumulator configured for retaining fluid under a substantial pressure; ii) a small valve seat assembly; iii) a solenoid, the solenoid being configured for opening the small valve seat assembly, the small valve seat assembly being in fluid communication with the accumulator; iv) a large valve seat assembly; v) a piston means configured for opening the large valve assembly, the small valve assembly being in fluid communication with a surface of the piston whereby upon opening the small valve seat employing the solenoid, fluid from the accumulator is applied to the large piston assembly, the large piston assembly being configured whereby application of fluid from the accumulator to the large piston assembly functions to open the large valve assembly; vi) an exit port and means associated therewith for conducting fluid under pressure from the accumulator when the large valve assembly is opened; vii) means for reseating the large valve assembly upon completion of discharge of a desired quantity of fluid under pressure from the accumulator; viii) an ejector; ix) a bleed port configured for being subjected to a vacuum when fluid is passed through the ejector port; and x) conduit means joining the bleed port to the exit port.
