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)
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
RAIN REPELLENT
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

TAXI WITH DEFLATED OR DAMAGED TIRES
‐ If maximum one tire per gear is deflated (consider three gears)

‐ For the nosewheel steering (NWS) angle
Maximum NWS angle………………………………………………………………………………………………….. 30 °
In addition, if tire damage is suspected, the flight crew must ask for an aircraft inspection prior to
vacate the runway or taxi. If the ground crew suspects that a tire burst may damage the landing gear,
maintenance action is due.
