Engines
Snow/ice removal from the engine inlet should be accomplished using
mechanical means. Check the engine for freedom of movement. If the
engine fan does not rotate freely, hot air or some other means is
recommended to de-ice the engine. Ground crews should be cautioned to
avoid spraying de-icing fluids directly into the engine. There is no need
to apply fluid to the engine inlet because nacelle heat may be turned on
while on the ground. The engines should be at idle during these ground
operations.
Landing Gear
The tires, wheels, brakes, actuators, uplock mechanisms, struts and
landing gear doors should be free of snow and ice. Pay special attention
to forward facing parts of the nose landing gear and doors
CAUTION
Do not apply fluid to the landing gear, wheels, and
brakes.
Doors
All door seals and hinges should be free of ice and snow.
