Safety Information
lypes. Since the capability
of
this equipment varies,
it
becomes
the pilot's
primary
responsibility
to
understand limitations which restrict the use
of
his
airplane
in
icing conditions and the conditions which
may
exceed
the
systems
capacity.
Pilots and airplane
owners
mllst carefully review the
Information
Manual
in
order
to
ascertain
the
required operable equipment needed for flight
in
icing conditions. In addition, they must ascertain
from the same sources the limits
of
approval
or
certification
of
their airplane
for
flight
in
icing
conditions,
and
plan the flight accordingly, if icing
conditions are k.nown
or
forecast along the route.
Every
owner
and
pilot
of
an
airplane should
understand that
it
is not uncommon to find aircraft
equipped with less than the full
complement
of
available
systems
and
equipment.
For
example,
props
and
pitot tube may be
protected,
but the
aircraft might not have wing
boots
or
tail boots.
The
reverse might be lrue. Windshüeld, pitoi
and
airfoil
surfaces
might be
protected.
but the props might not
be. Before undertaking any
lflight
into
areas
where
icing
conditions
might
be
suspected,
inspect the
aircraft and review the Information Manual to be
certain
that
you
are
supported
by
the
full
complement
of
required
IFR
and deicinglanti-icing
equipment.
