DEFINITION OF SEVERE ICE ACCRETION
Ice accretion is considered severe when the ice accumulation on the airframe reaches approximately
5 mm (0.2 in) thick or more.
DEFINITION OF ICING CONDITIONS
‐ Icing conditions exist when the OAT (on ground or after takeoff) or the TAT (in flight) is at or
below 10 °C and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of 1 sm (1 600 m) or less, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals).
‐ Icing conditions also exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff is at or below 10 °C and operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles or engine sensor probes.
DEFINITION OF THIN HOARFROST
Thin hoarfrost is typically a white crystalline deposit which usually develops uniformly on exposed surfaces on cold and cloudless nights.
It is so thin that surface features (lines or markings) can be distinguished beneath it.
RAIN REPELLENT usage
The flight crew should only use the rain repellent in the case of moderate to heavy rain.
BRAKE TEMPERATURE
Maximum brake temperature for takeoff (brake fans off)……………………………………………..300 °C

information:
Maximum NWS angle………………………………………………………………………….. ±85 °
INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM (IRS)
IR GROUND ALIGNMENT
Ground alignment of the IRS is possible in latitudes between 73 ° North and 73 ° South.
TAXI WITH DEFLATED OR DAMAGED TIRES
‐ If maximum one tire per gear is deflated (consider three gears)
Maximum taxi speed during turn……………………………………………………………………………………. 7 kt
‐ If two tires are deflated on the same main gear (maximum one main gear)
Maximum taxi speed……………………………………………………………………………………………………. 3 kt
‐ For the nosewheel steering (NWS) angle
Maximum NWS angle………………………………………………………………………………………………….. 30 °
GPWS / PREDICTIVE GPWS
The predictive GPWS functions should be inhibited (TERR pushbutton to OFF, on the GPWS panel) when the aircraft position is less than 15 NM from the airfield:
‐ For operations from/to runways not incorporated in the predictive GPWS database.
‐ For specific approach or departure procedures, which have previously been identified as potentially causing expected or spurious terrain alerts.
