WARNING
Flight in expected and/or known icing conditions is forbidden.
An external inspection of the aircraft is performed before each flight, as prescribed
on Section 4. For cold weather operations, the crew must focus on the check of
following parts of airplane (free of snow/ice/standing water).
 control surfaces
 fuselage
 wings
 vertical and horizontal stabilator
 stall warning switch
 engine inlets
 engines draining points
 propeller blades
 LG doors
 Pitot, and static ports
 fuel tank vents
Tires show low pressure in cold weather: the required adjustments to inflation
pressure should be performed on tires cooled to ambient temperature.
If the crew detects ice, anti icing products are not allowed. To remove ice, tow the
aircraft in the hangar and operate with a soft brush or a humid cloth.
WARNING
Removal of snow/ice accumulations is necessary prior to takeoff
because they will seriously affect airplane performance. Aircraft
with ice/snow accumulation are forbidden to flight.
If the aircraft must be operated in cold weather conditions within the range -25ºC
to -5ºC
,
it is suggested to perform following procedure in order to speed up the
engine warm-up:
 Tow the airplane in a warm hangar (at temperature more then -5ºC).
 Let airplane temperature stabilize.
 Heat the cabin at a suitable value for crew comfort: an electrical fan heater
can be used inside the cabin.
 Tow airplane outside and perform engine starting.
