Definition of Icing Conditions
- Icing conditions exist when the OAT (on ground and for 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).
- Icing conditions also exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff is at or below 10° C and operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles or engine sensor probes.
