the boots despite the maintenance of the prescribed
minimum
speed. The eff ect of ice accumulation on
any unprotected surface is aggravated by the length
of exposure to the icing conditions. lce buildup on
unprotected surfaces will increase drag, add weight,
reduce
lift, and generally, adversely affect the
aerodynamic characteristics andl performance of the
airplane.
lt can progress to the point where the
airplane
is no longer capable of flying. Therefore,
the pilot operating even a fully-equipped airplane in
sustained icing conditions must remain sensitive to
any indication. such
as observed ice accumulation.

on unprotected surfaces and that
continued flight in these conditions is extremely
hazardous, regardless of the performance of the
deicing/anti-icing equipment.
Rapid cycling
of the deice boots or cycling before at
least
one-quarter inch ( 1/4'') of ice has accumulated
(measured in the chordwise direction or forward
from the leading edge),

outside the contour
of the inflated boots and prevent
ice removal.
