UTILIZATION ON RUNWAYS COVERED WITH MELTING OR NOT TAMPED
SNOW
Refer if required to paragraph "UTILIZATION BY COLD WEATHER AND VERY COLD WEATHER".
Preflight inspection
1 - Remove any snow or ice from the wings, stabilizers and movable surfaces, landing gear wells and gear
doors, as well as flap tracks, actuators and their fairings.
2 - Spray anti-icing fluid on the wings, stabilizers and movable surfaces (upper and lower surfaces) and in the
landing gear wells, shortly before takeoff.
Taxiing
1 - "INERT SEP" switch
2 - Taxi at very slow speed (max. 5 KIAS), flaps up, brake occasionally to maintain the brake pads warm (this will
prevent any subsequent locking due to freezing after takeoff).
Before takeoff
1 - If the runway is long enough, takeoff should be performed with the flaps in the up position. In that case,
rotation speed must be increased by 5 KIAS.
Takeoff distances must be increased to take into account the flap position (+ 15 %
The ground roll may be multiplied by 3 in some melting or not tamped snow cases.
2 - "IGNITION" switch
3 - "INERT SEP" switch
Takeoff
1 - Lightly lift up nose wheel during takeoff run in order to reduce the forward resistance due to snow
accumulation against the wheel.
2 - After takeoff, normally retract the landing gear, then perform a complete cycle (extension / retraction) at
IAS ≤ 150 KIAS.
Before landing
1 - "IGNITION" switch
2 - "INERT SEP" switch
Touch and Go
Prohibited
On the ramp, after landing or taxiing :
1 - Do not use the parking brake to prevent brake lock.
2 - Use chocks and / or tie-down the airplane.
