Cowl Anti-Ice, Ground Operations
Must be on when OAT is 10C or below AND visible moisture in any form is present (such as fog with visibility of 1,500 meters (1mile) or less, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals.
WHEN operating on runways, ramps or taxiways where surface snow, ice standing water or slush is present.
Cowl Anti-Ice, Flight Operations
Must be on when in icing conditions, or ice is annunciated by the ice detection system.
EXCEPT when SAT is -40 or below
Define Icing Conditions (in-flight)
Icing conditions exist in-flight at a TAT of 10C or below, and visible moisture in any form is encountered (such as clouds, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals), except when the SAT is -40C or below.
Wing Anti-Ice, Ground Operations
Must be on for takeoff when the OAT is 5C or below AND visible moisture in any form is present (such as fog with visibility of 1,500 meters (1mile) or less, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals)
AND/OR the runway is contaminated with surface snow, slush, or standing water.
Wing Anti-Ice, Ground Operations – When Type II or Type IV anti-icing fluids have been applied:
Wing anti-ice system must only be selected on, if required, just prior to thrust increase for takeoff.
Wing Anti-Ice, Flight Operations
The wing anti-ice system must be on (EXCEPT when SAT is -40C or below) when:
Ice is annunciated by the ice detection system
In icing conditions and the airspeed is less than 230 KIAS
DO NOT HOLD IN ICING CONDITIONS WITH SLATS/FLAPS EXTENDED.
Supercooled Large Droplet Icing
Continued operations in areas where SLD icing conditions exist is prohibited.
Wing and cowl anti-icing systems must be on in SLD icing conditions.
Leave icing conditions when side window icing occurs.
How are SLD icing conditions indicated?
SLD icing conditions are indicated by ice accretion on the flight deck side windows.
Cold Weather Ops
Take-off is prohibited with frost, ice, snow or slush adhering to any critical areas (wings, upper, fuselage, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, control surfaces and engine inlets)
Takeoff is permitted with frost adhering to:
Upper surface of the fuselage if it is possible to distinguish surface features.
Max 1/8in layer of frost on the underside of the wing that is caused by cold soaked fuel.
Runway Slopes
Max runway slopes approved for takeoff and landing are: +2% uphill and -2% downhill
