Q

When should a cold weather preflight be conducted?

A
  • The OAT is 5°C or less, or
  • The wing fuel temperature is 0°C or less, or
  • Atmospheric conditions conducive to icing exist, or
  • The aircraft has remained overnight and may have frozen contaminants due to exposure to frost or precipitation, which could involve the entire airframe, or
  • On any through ight where residual ice from the inbound ight may have accumulated on airframe surfaces or components, or
  • Cold soak ice is suspected in the fuel tank area.

Q

When must an engine start be manually aborted?

A

  • When oil pressure stabilizes below the engine limits
  • N1 and/or N2 failing to accelerate to stable idle speed (hung start)
