Of note, the tailplane may have residual ice that is not visible to the pilot. The speeds listed
as minimum recommended speeds for icing encounters should be adhered to and recognized
as MINIMUM recommended speeds following any icing encounter where there is even the
slightest suspicion that the airframe may have residual ice. As additional operational
guidance and, if possible, the pilot should maintain a minimum airspeed of 150 KIAS, in the
clean configuration, throughout the IFR approach procedures, including initial and
intermediate segments. It is also recommended to fly the approach segment clean as well as
to establish the landing configuration with gear down and flaps 15° (pusher ice mode DSB
centered) not later than passing through 1000 ft. AGL.
After you have encountered, or suspect you have encountered, severe icing, you should
apply the procedures as given in Section 4, Normal Procedures,
In case of a balked landing go around after an icing encounter, the climb speeds defined
above should be maintained. This will prevent stick shaker activation in PUSHER ICE MODE.
In case of a balked landing go around after an icing encounter, the flap position should not be
changed and should be maintained at the approach position.
The landing gear can be retracted but a locked indication may not be achieved due to ice
contamination of the up position switch striker.
Use of ICE X (B.F. Goodrich Brand Name) improves the shedding capability of the pneumatic
de-ice boots. Its use (see Aircraft Maintenance Manual) is recommended but not mandatory.
