SECTION 2 CESSNA
OPERATING LIMITATIONS MODEL 208B (867 SHP)
GARMIN G1000
U.S.
FAA APPROVED
PREFLIGHT
Takeoff is prohibited with any frost, ice, snow, or slush adhering to the
wings, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, control surfaces, propeller
blades, and/or engine air inlets.
WARNING
Even small amounts of frost, ice, snow or slush on
the wing may adversely change lift and drag.
Failure to remove these contaminants will degrade
airplane performance and will prevent a safe takeoff
and climb.
VISUAL AND TACTILE CHECK
To assure the absence of frost, a tactile check of the wing leading edge
and upper surface, as specified in Section 4, Normal Procedures, is
required in addition to a visual inspection if the OAT is below 10°C
(50°F). During ground icing conditions, takeoff must be accomplished
within 5 minutes of completing the tactile check unless the airplane is
operated per 14 CFR 135.227(b)(3).
Ground icing conditions are defined as:
1. The OAT is 2°C (36°F) or below and visible moisture is present
(i.e. rain, drizzle, sleet, snow, fog, water is present on the wing,
etc.), or,
2. The OAT is 5°C (41°F) or below and conditions are conducive to
active frost formation (e.g. clear night with a dew point
temperature/OAT difference of 3°C (5°F) or less).
Takeoff is prohibited if frost, ice or snow may reasonably be expected to
adhere to the airplane between the tactile check and takeoff (e.g. snow
near freezing temperature with no deicing/anti-ice fluid application).
