c. Reference GPS ALTITUDE on MFD INFO page (if installed)
or select G300 TERRAIN Profile page. GPS Altitude is
provided by the white arrowhead on the left side of the
TERRAIN Profile display.
d. Navigate using Heading Strip, Lateral Deviation, and GPS
moving map (GPS moving map and TERRAIN Profile can
not be displayed at the same time).
NOTE
GPS information is not as accurate as barometric data but
will provide an approximate value for comparison to pitot-
static instruments or a back-up if barometric instruments
become unreliable.
6. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice
build-up, select a suitable off airport landing site.
7. With an ice accumulation of 0.25 inch (6.35mm) or more on the
wing leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher power
requirements, higher approach and stall speeds, and a longer
landing roll. Gently pitch and yaw the airplane periodically to
keep ice bridging on the controls to a minimum.
8. Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build-up on the
horizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow direction caused
by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevator
effectiveness.
9. Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary,
for improved visibility.
10. Approach at 65 to 70 KIAS (estimated 70 KIAS. if using GPS)
depending upon the amount of ice accumulation.
11. Perform landing in level attitude.
12. Missed approaches should be avoided whenever possible
because of severely reduced climb capability.
