types. Since the capability
of
this equipment
varies,
it becomes
the
pilot's
primary
responsibility
to
understand
limitations
which restrict
the use of his
airplane in icing conditions and the conditions
which
may exceed
the systems
capacity.
Pilots and
airplane
owners must carefully
review
the
Information
Manual
in order
to ascertain
the
required
operable
equipment
needed
for flight in
icing conditions.
In addition,
they must ascertain
from the
same
sources
the limits
of
approval
or
certification
of their
airplane
for flight
in icing
conditions,
and
plan
the
flight
accordingly,
if icing
conditions are known
or
forecast along the
route.
Every
owner
and
pilot
of
an airplane
should
understand
that it is
not
uncommon to find aircraft
equipped
with
less than the full complement
of
available
systems
and
equipment.
For
example,
props
and
pitot
tube
may
be
protected,
but the
aircraft might
not
have
wing
boots or tail boots. The
reverse
might be true. Windshield,
pitot
and airfoil
surfaces
might be protected,
but the
props might not
be. Before
undertaking
any flight into
areas
where
icing conditions
might
be
suspected,
inspect the
aircraft
and
review
the
Information
Manual to be
certain
that
you
are
supported
by the
full
complement
of
required
IFR
and
deicinglanti-icing
equipment.
