SYSTEM WARNING MARGIN.
DESCENT
Observe normal (including operation in icing conditions) procedures
contained in the approved AFM.
When using the autopilot, monitor pitch attitude and speed
continuously.
If approaching the terminal area in icing conditions, an increased rate
of descent may be necessary. In this case, a combination of flaps set
at 9° and speed brakes open may be used.
NOTE: Engine and Wing Ice Protection Systems operation is
automatic and based on the primary ice detection system.
However, the crew remains responsible for monitoring icing
conditions and for manual activation of the ice protection
system if icing conditions are present and the ice detection
system is not activating the ice protection system.
APPROACH AND LANDING
Observe normal (including operation in icing conditions)
approach/landing procedures contained in the approved AFM.
When landing below -40°C (-40°F), ensure that rate of descent before
touchdown is less than 300 ft/min. After landing, report to the
maintenance personnel.
