Q

Why should you restrict your rotation rate to 3 degrees per second?

A

It can lead to excessively high pitch attitudes and angles of attack near the ground, leading to reduced stall margins resulting in stick shaker and pusher, and possibly loss of control.

Q

Frost, ice, snow or slush adhering to any critical surface (wings, uper fuselage, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, control surfaces and engine inlets) prohibits takeoff, except under what circumstances?

A

Takeoff is permitted with frost adhering to the upper surface of the fuselage, if it is possible to distinguish surface features (markings and lines). Frost in excess of this must be removed from the fuselage. In addition, frost on the underside of the wing fuel tank area that is caused by cold-soaked fuel is permitted, to a maximum thickness of 3 mm.
