Safety
Information
For
any
owner or
pilot whose
use pattern for an
aircraft
exposes
it
to icing encounters,
the following
references
are required
reading
for safe flying:
The aircraft's
Information Manual, expecially the
sections
on Normal
Procedures,
Emergency
Procedures,
Systems, and Safety Information.
FAA Advisory
Circular 91-51
-
Airplane Deice
and Anti-ice Systems.
Weather Flying, by Robert N. Buck.
Finally,
the most important ingredients to safe flight
in icing
conditions
-
regardless of the aircraft or the
combination
of
deicinglanti-icing
equipment
-
are a
complete
and
current
weather
briefing, sound
pilot
judgment,
close
attention to the rate and type of ice
accumulations,
and the
knowledge
that "severe
icing" as defined by the
National
Weather Service is
beyond
the
capability
of modern
aircraft
and
immediate
diversion
must
be made.
It is the
inexperienced
or uneducated
pilot who presses
on
"regardless",
hoping
that
steadily
worsening
conditions
will
improve, only to find himself flying
an airplane
which
has become
so
loaded
with
ice
