  • Page 7: General

    This supplement to the AFM contains all necessary information to operate the ice protection system of the DA 62. The DA 62 can be equipped with an optional ice protection system in accordance with the Optional Design Change Advisory OÄM 62-002. It distributes a thin film of de-icing fluid on the wings, vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer, propellers, and windscreen.
  • Page 8 DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 WARNING Some icing conditions have the potential of producing hazardous ice accumulations, which (1) exceed the capabilities of the airplane's ice protection equipment, and/or (2) create unacceptable airplane performance. Inadvertent operation in these conditions may be detected by heavy ice accumulation on the windshield, or when ice forms on the side areas of the canopy.
  • Page 9 DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 or airborne. Ice Crystals: Any one of a number of macroscopic, crystalline forms in which ice appears. Examples are hail and snow. Icing conditions: An icing condition is defined as visually detected ice, or the presence of visible moisture in any form at or below an indicated outside air temperature (OAT) of +5 °C (41 °F).

  • Page 15 DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 CAUTION Do not delay activation of the ice protection system if icing conditions are encountered. CAUTION The stall warning in icing conditions may not be reliable and must not be relied upon in icing conditions.
  • Page 16 DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 If the system does not work properly Continue with Section 3.15.1 - FAILURE OF THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM. If the system works properly, proceed as follows 7. Leave the icing area (by changing altitude, turning back, even continuing on the same course if clear air is known to be immediately ahead).

    DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 4B. ABNORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES NOTE The abnormal operating procedures of this supplement describe the operation of the ice protection system during the occurrence of cautions on the G1000. Nevertheless, flight in icing conditions is not approved.
  • Page 24 DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 CAUTION If at ambient temperature above 10 °C (50 °F) and below 20 °C (68 °F) DEIC PRES LO warning appears in HIGH mode, switch to max mode to cancel the warning. Above 20 °C (68 °F) ambient temperature, warning cancellation may not be possible.
  • Page 25 DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 4B.3.18 FAILURE OF THE INDICATION LIGHTS The indication lights (MAX, NORM, HIGH) on the de-ice panel are only used to indicate the selected operating mode. Failure to illuminate does not indicate a malfunction of the system.

  • Page 26: Performance

    DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 PERFORMANCE 5.1 INTRODUCTION Airplane performance and stall speeds in clear air are unchanged with the installation of the ice protection system. CAUTION Significant climb and cruise performance degradation, range reduction, buffet, and stalling speed increase must be expected if ice accumulates on the airframe.

    DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 AIRPLANE HANDLING, CARE, AND MAINTENANCE The porous panels can be cleaned with soap and water using a clean, lint-free cloth. Isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or methylated spirit may be used to remove oil or grease. Furthermore, approved de-icing fluids, AVGAS, and jet fuel are permitted for use on the panels.
  • Page 38 DA 62 AFM Ice Protection System Supplement S02 8.4.6 PROLONGED OUT OF SERVICE OR DE-ICING SYSTEM RUN DRY To avoid the need to reprime the system, and to provide a quick response when returned to service, maintain at least 2 liters (0.5 US gal) in the tank. To ensure that all system components are filled with fluid, operate the system at least once a month.
