Cirrus SR20 and SR22 Flight Operations Manual
Section 7 Supplementary Information
Operations in Icing Conditions
• WARNING •
Flight into known icing is prohibited.
A pilot should not take off in an aircraft that has frost, snow, or ice
adhering to any external surface.
A pilot can expect icing when flying in visible moisture, such as rain,
snow or clouds, and the temperature of the aircraft is below freezing. If
icing is detected a pilot should turn on all available anti-icing
equipment and do one of two things to exit the icing conditions; get
out of the area of visible moisture or go to an altitude where the
temperature is above freezing. The warmer altitude may not always be
a lower altitude. Proper preflight action includes obtaining information
on the freezing level. Report icing to ATC, and if operating IFR, request
new routing or altitude if icing is encountered.
