No.
When must wing anti-ice be turned on?
During final taxi prior to takeoff if OAT is 5 degrees or less, unless deicing/anti-icing fluids have been applied.
Wing anti-ice must also be selected and confirmed on when OAT is less than 5 degrees, and visible moisture is present, below 400ft AGL, or runway is contaminated, or there is precipitation.
Wing anti-ice system must also be turned on when ICE is annunciated by the ice detection system, and when in icing conditions and the airspeed is less than 230KIAS
How are supercooled large droplet (SLD) icing conditions indicated on this aircraft?
Ice will accrete on flight deck side windows.
What should you do if ice starts to build up on the flight deck side windows?
This indicated the likelihood of SLD icing.
Wing and Cowl anti-icing system must be ON.
Exit SLD icing conditions.

What is the maximum time the engine starter may be engaged for? How much time must be allowed for the starter to cool off, assuming it is only the FIRST or SECOND start attempt?
60 seconds to engage the starter, followed by a cool down period of 10 seconds off for the first and second start attempt.
What is the maximum time the engine starter may be engaged for? How much time must be allowed for the starter to cool off, assuming it is the THIRD or subsequent start attempt?
60 seconds to engage the starter, followed by a cool down period of 5 minutes off for the third and remainder start attempts.
What are the ITT limitations before moving the thrust lever from SHUT OFF to IDLE for ground/air starts?
ITT must be 120C or less for ground starts
ITT must be 90C or less for air starts
Max fuel imbalance
800 lbs between the left main tank and the left centre tank
When is takeoff permitted with the centre tanks be filled above 500lbs?
