Question 10

Nacelle Anti-Ice on the Ground Requirements

Answer 10

Anytime OAT is 10º C. or less with visible moisture conditions (including clouds or fog with 1sm or less vis.) or standing water, ice or snow on the ground.

Question 11

De-Icing Engine Run Ups

Answer 11

During prolonged ground operations when Nacelle Anti-Ice is required and the OAT is 3º C. or below, periodic engine run ups to 50% N1 for one second every 15 minutes and immediately prior to T/O.
(N492EV - 60% N1 for 30 seconds every 30 minutes and immediately prior to T/O)

Question 12

When is the Securing Checklist Accomplished?

Answer 12

Anytime the aircraft will remain on the ground longer than three hours, or there will be a crew change prior to the next flight. Complete “below the line” if powering down the aircraft.

Question 13

Continuous Ignition on For?

Answer 13

1. Standing water or slush on runway
2. Icing conditions
3. Moderate to severe turbulence
4. Moderate to heavy rain
5. Volcanic ash
