B

Question 14

(T/F): Ground icing conditions occur only in the presence of precipitation (such as rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals).

Answer 14

false

Question 15

Which of the following are considered icing conditions on the ground?

Answer 16

true

Question 17

(T/F): The wing anti-ice system must be selected ON for taxi whenever the OAT is 10 deg C or below.

Answer 17

False

Question 18

4. the OAT is 8 deg C and rain is falling

Answer 18

1 and 3

Question 19
