PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK

UTILIZATION ON ICY OR COVERED WITH TAMPED SNOW RUNWAYS (1/2)

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), shortly
before takeoff.
Taxiing
1 - "INERT SEP" switch
2 - Taxi at very slow speed (max. 5 KIAS).
Use β area of throttle to adjust speed.
Apply very smooth variations using throttle.
3 - Steer the airplane using the rudder.
Make turns at a very low speed, engine torque tends to make the airplane turn to the left.
4 - Use brakes only at very low speed and progressively.
Before takeoff
1 - "IGNITION" switch
2 - "INERT SEP" switch
Takeoff
1 - 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
Landing
After wheel touch
1 - Use reverse only if necessary and very progressively by monitoring the airplane behaviour.
The engine torque tends to make the airplane turn to the left.
2 - Taxi at very slow speed (max. 5 KIAS).
Use β area of throttle to adjust speed.
Apply very smooth variations using throttle.
