As stated earlier, the only approved means for determining the proper
fluid quantity for dispatch into known icing conditions is the tank sight
gage. The sight gage is located on the left side of the fluid tank, near
the filler assembly. As illustrated in Figure S1-10, the sight gage may be
viewed through the cargo pod door located ahead of the filler.
To assure the minimum dispatch quantity is achieved, specific steps
must be taken. First, the airplane must be sitting in a wings level
attitude. If the airplane rests on a slope, the nose must be pointed up or
down the slope. Second, the volume of fluid in the tank must be such
that the bottom of the fluid ball is above the minimum dispatch line.
When both conditions have been met, the tank contains the minimum
quantity of fluid for flight into known icing.
