Section 3 – Emergency procedures
OTHER EMERGENCIES
10.5. UNINTENTIONAL FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS
1. Pitot heat ……...………….. ON
2. Immediately fly away from icing conditions (changing altitude and direc-
tion of flight, out and below of clouds, visible moisture, precipitations).
3. Control surfaces …………. Move continuously to avoid locking
4. Throttle……………………. INCREASE to prevent ice build-up on propeller
blades
In event of ice build-up in correspondence of wing leading edg-
es, stall speed increases and stall may become asymmetric. In
case of stabilator ice accretion, it may loose its efficiency, lead-
ing to lack of aircraft pitch control and loss of control.
10.6. FLAPS CONTROL FAILURE
DURING TAKEOFF
In case of unintentional flaps retraction, or if the flaps control
fails, and if the takeoff cannot be aborted, consider that the dis-
tances, without flaps, increase by about 20%.
1. Flap position………………. Check and confirm
2. Airspeed ………………….. Below 91 KIAS (V
FE
)
3. Land as soon as practical
DURING APPROACH/LANDING
In case of unintentional flaps retraction or if the flaps control
fails, consider that the landing distance without flaps increases
by about 25%.
1. Flap position………………. Check and confirm
2. Airspeed …………………… 80 KIAS during approach
3. Land as soon as practical
