Limitations
WARNING! Should you nd water drops on the airframe during preight check-up at
temperatures close to freezing, you may expect icing to appear in ight. Spoilers (airbrakes) are
especially prone to icing under such circumstances. As water may accumulate underneath the

unable to extend spoilers before the ice melts. Therefore, ying under circumstances mentioned
above, it is recommended to extend and retract the spoilers in ight frequently to prevent its sur-
face freezing to the airframe.
