- Chapter 5. ICING OPERATIONS › 5-9. HOLDING › c. Configuration Changes
Autopilot. Caution concerning the use of the autopilot, as described above, is also applicable to holding during or after flight in icing conditions. c. Configuration Changes. If configuration changes (such as deployment of flaps) are made before or during ... hold and after or during flight in icing conditions, the pilot should be prepared for any unusual behavior of the airplane during or after the change. If the aircraft reacts adversely to a change of configuration, the pilot should return…
- Chapter 3. ICING EFFECTS, PROTECTION, AND DETECTION › 3-12. CERTIFICATION FOR FLIGHT IN ICING CONDITIONS › a. Current Icing Certification
aircraft has been tested. For example, certification includes testing and analysis to show that an aircraft can hold in significant icing conditions for up to 45 minutes. Nonetheless, pilots of certificated aircraft should not be casual about operations in icing…
- Chapter 5. ICING OPERATIONS › 5-7. CRUISE › f. Limitations
icing conditions. If this is not desirable because of cockpit workload levels, pilots should monitor the autopilot closely for abnormal trim, trim rate, or airplane attitude. As ice accretes on aircraft without autothrottles, the autopilot will attempt to hold altitude ... airspeed hold, while the least desirable is vertical speed, which should not be used. Pilots should be prepared for the possibility of unusual control forces and flight control displacements when disconnecting the autopilot, especially in severe icing conditions. g. Airspeed…
- Chapter 4: Aerodynamic Factors
aircraft icing. Pilots need an understanding of these factors for a sound basis for prediction of aircraft response to control inputs, especially with regard to instrument approaches, while holding, and when operating at reduced airspeed in instrument meteorological conditions…

speed hold modes because they only increase the aircraft’s maneuvering, which increases structural stress. During a thunderstorm encounter, the potential for icing also exists. As soon as possible, if the aircraft is so equipped, turn on anti-icing/deicing ... intensity, concentrate on flight instruments, and resist the urge to look outside. Inadvertent Icing Encounter Because icing is unpredictable, pilots may find themselves in icing conditions although they have done everything to avoid the condition. To stay alert to this…

As soon as possible, turn on anti-icing/deicing equipment and carburetor heat, if equipped. Icing ... flight instruments, and resist the urge to look outside. Inadvertent Icing Encounter Because icing is unpredictable in nature, pilots may find themselves in icing conditions even though they have done everything practicable to avoid it.
