not take off until after the proper maintenance procedures have
been accomplished.
ANGLE-OF-ATTACK/STICK
SHAKER SYSTEM
If the stick shaker does not operate during the warning system
test, it must be repaired before flight.
ANGLE-OF-ATTACK/STICK SHAKER SYSTEM (Instrument use)
The angle-of-attack (AOA) indicating system may be used as a
reference system but does not replace the airspeed display
in the PFD as a primary instrument. The AOA gage and Low
Airspeed Awareness (LAA) indications must be verified in flight
against Airplane Flight Manual speeds prior to use as a reference.

approach speed (1.3 Vs1) at all airplane weights and centerof-
gravity locations at zero, takeoff/approach and landing flap

MFD HOT or IC HOT annunciator light was illuminated, until the

Flight director and autopilot coupled VOR approaches without DME
are not approved.
When NAV mode is engaged for enroute navigation, and VOR is the
source, HDG mode must be engaged prior to changing the active
VOR frequency. After positive acquisition of the new VOR frequency and course,reselect NAV mode and verify capture and tracking of
the new course.
STANDBY FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

a minimum of 15 minutes prior to flight above FL250 after a
prolonged ground cold soak period (two hours or longer) at ambient
temperatures of -10° C (+ 14 ° F) or colder (refer to Normal Procedures,
Cold Weather Operations). This temperature ensures proper

All anti-ice systems must be ON when operating in visible moisture
and the indicated RAT is +10°C or lower.
