Cold weather often causes conditions which require special
care during airplane operations. Even small accumulations of
frost, ice or snow must be removed, particularly from wing, tail
and all control surfaces to assure satisfactory flight performance
and handling. Also, control surfaces must be free of any internal
accumulations of ice or snow.
If snow or slush covers the take-off surface, allowance must be
made for take-off distances which will be increasingly extended
as snow or slush depth increases. The depth and consistency
of this cover can, in fact, prevent take-off in many instances.
Cold weather starting procedures are the same as the normal
starting procedures. Use caution to prevent inadvertent forward
movement of the airplane during starting when parked on snow
or ice.
WARNING: The following applies to Diesel and JET fuel
mixtures in the tank:
As soon as the proportion of Diesel in the
tank is more than 10% Diesel, the fuel
temperature limits for Diesel operation must
be observed. If there is uncertainty about
which fuel is in the tank, the assumption
should be made that it is Diesel.
Note: lt is advisable to refuel before each flight and
to enter the type of fuel filled and the
additives used in the log-book of the
airplane.
