Section 4
Normal Procedures
BEFORE TAKEOFF
After completion of the normal Before Takeoff checklist, verify
that the airplane is still free of frozen contaminants.
Ensure the runway is free from hazards such as snow drifts,
glazed ice, and ruts.
TAKEOFF
Allow additional take-off distance when snow or slush is on the
runway. Extra cycling of the landing gear when above 500 feet
AGL may help clear any contamination from the gear system.
DESCENT
During descent and landing, give special attention to engine
temperatures, since the engines will have a tendency toward
overcooling.
LANDING
Braking and steering are less effective on slick runways. Also,
hydroplaning may occur under wet runway conditions at higher
speeds. Use the rudder to maintain directional control until the
tires make solid contact with the runway surface.
