    identification and application of the proper procedure is imperative. It is extremely important that the pilot maintain awareness of all possibilities during or following flight in icing. Chapter 6. SUMMARY 6-1. GENERAL. Ice-contaminated aircraft have been involved ... usually been due to failure to deice or anti-ice critical surfaces properly on the ground. Proper deicing and anti-icing procedures are addressed in the current editions of two other pilot guides…

    materials as the authority for procedures for flight into icing conditions. (1) Because turbojet airplanes have the performance capabilities to fly around or quickly pass through areas where icing conditions are encountered in flight, icing will pose more ... hazard during the takeoff phase. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to ground deicing. (2) For ground deicing operations, refer to company procedures, AC 120-58, and AC 135-17 for guidance. (3) Ensure that deicing fluids are not sprayed…

    with electrothermal deicing systems. It is typical for these systems also to produce runback ice behind a protected area. Because other parts of the aircraft, including part of the span of the wing, are not protected from ice, a drag ... pilot can fly the aircraft safely by following the operating procedures in the AFM or POH. Residual ice and the ice that accumulates between deicing cycles can be expected to have some effect on CLmax, but note that this effect…
