Icing Flashcards
APU starting precaution OAT -15*C
Ground power should be used to start APU
Alignment time for IRS OAT -15*C
15minutes
Clean aircraft concept
All components of the plane that contributes to lift or aerodynamics must be cleared of snow/ice/frost
Upper fuselage limit of contamination
hoar frost
Thin crystalline that can be seen through underneath
Wing tank area frost limit
3mm
Before applying anti ice again
must first de ice with hot fluid mixture
Can deice begin with engines/APU running
yes or stopped. but mayn’t start engines/apu during application
Try to stay below what time during deice
20min for passenger comfort
-5*C OAT or below
snow or freezing rain may melt and refreeze on probes. have ground staff check before take off.
Time after anti ice before starting APU BLEED
5minutes
icing condition
OAT or TAT 10*C or below
visible moisture an form (Fog with 1 mile visibility or less)
surface of snow/standing water/slush/ice
SAT of 40*C or above even during descent
Airframe icing
shown by windshield wipers or ice indicator
WING ANTI ICE ON
Ice accretion on non heated structure
CLEAN: VLS +15kts
CONF all: VLS +5kts
Ice accretion non heated parts (WING ANTI ICE INOP)
VLS +10 or G DOT
Severe icing
5mm
take off not RECOMMENDED
icy runway
runway
Fan shedding
Below 1*C or less icing condition.
50% N1 for 10s every hour
Core ice shedding
freezing fog + idle more than 45minutes including taxi in from previous sector.
Down side of applying deice/antice fluid in cold dry snow
Cold dry snow may stick on fluid and wing must be clean before take off
Type of fluid not used
type 3
