38
Q

What kinds of operation is the PC12 permitted to fly in?

A

Flight under the IFR at night, Cat 1 approaches, single pilot, and fly into known icing conditions.

39
Q

Deicing Boot System, temperature limits

A

-40, +40, operating the boots outside this range may cause permanent damage.

40
Q

When must the deicing boots be checked?

A

Before flight and prior to flight into known icing conditions.

41
Q

When may you switch off the deicing boots?

A

After leaving icing conditions and the aircraft is determined to be clear of ice.

42
Q

When must you switch on the de-icing boots?

A

At the first sign of ice accretion anywhere on the aircraft.

43
Q

How are icing conditions defined by pilatus?

A

The OAT or SAT is 10 degC or colder and visible moisure in any form is present, as well as operating below 10 degrees on any runway or airport surface where there is water, slush or snow that may be ingested into the engine nacelle.

or

there are visible signs of icing on the aircraft.

44
Q

Can you fly into icing conditions with a generator failure?

A

No

46
Q

  1. Boots Operating
  2. Failure of the Boots
A
  1. 15deg flap - in the event of a missed approach the flaps should not be retracted from 15deg
  2. 0deg flap
47
Q

Does the aircraft have to be clear of ALL deposits of snow, ice and frost before takeoff?

A

Yes

48
Q

If you conduct a missed apporach with airframe icing what may you expect?

A

The gear and flap may not fully retract.

49
Q

If the left wing light is inoperative, can you fly into icing?

A

No, but our MEL allows it.

50
Q
