Question 21

Definition of Icing Conditions?

Answer 21

• OAT (on the ground and for takeoff) or TAT (inflight) is 10 degrees or below, and
• visible moisture in any form is present such as clouds, fog, with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals, or
• when operating on ramps, taxiways, or runways where the surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush my be ingested by engines, freeze on engines, nacelles, or engine sensor probes.

Question 22

When must the ENGINE ANTI-ICE System be on?

Answer 22

During all ground and flight operations when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except during climbs and cruise when the temperature is BELOW -40 degrees C SAT. Engine Anit-ice must be on prior to and during descent in icing conditions, including temperatures below -40 degrees C SAT.

Question 23

CAUTION for Engine Anti-Ice?

Answer 23

Do not rely on visual airframe icing cues to select engine anti- ice ON. Use temperature and visual moisture criteria specified in this section. Delaying the use of engine anti-ice until ice buildup is visible from the flightdeck may result in severe engine damage and/or flameout.
