SECTION 1 - GENERAL
This supplement supplies information necessary for the operation of the
airplane when the B.F. Goodrich Integrated Ice Detection System is installed in
accordance with FAA Approved Piper Data.

SECTION 4 - NORMAL PROCEDURES
PREFLIGHT
During the preflight walk around, verify that the ice sensors are clear of ice.
To conduct a self test of the system turn the battery master switch on. This
will supply power to the system for a complete system self test. During the
self test, the prop deice fail, select deice, and the ice detector fail
annunciators will flash momentarily in sequence, activate all at once, and
then extinguish.
IN FLIGHT
The amber "Select Deice" annunciator is activated when the ice thickness
reaches 1/4 inch or greater over the surface of the sensor in the vertical fin
deicer.
When the amber "Select Deice" annunciator illuminates, indicating
approximately 1/4 inch or more of ice on the tailplane, the pilot may
choose to inflate the deice boots by pressing the "surface deice" switch or
choose to wait until more ice forms on the wings.
