FLIGHT INTO SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS
Severe icing conditions, particularly freezing rain and freezing drizzle,
can be identified by :
-- unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield
in areas not normally observed to collect ice,
-- accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing aft of the
protected area.
Procedures for exiting freezing rain or freezing drizzle conditions :
1 -- Inform Air Traffic Control to exit severe icing conditions by changing
the route or the altitude.
2 -- Avoid any sudden maneuver on flight controls.
3 -- Do not engage the autopilot.
4 -- If the autopilot is engaged, hold the control wheel firmly and
disengage the autopilot.
5 -- If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control movement
is observed, reduce the angle--of--attack.
6 -- Do not extend flaps when holding in icing conditions. Operation with
flaps extended can result in a reduced wing angle--of--attack, with
the possibility of ice forming on the upper surface further aft on the
wing than normal, possibly aft of the protected area.
7 -- If the flaps are extended, do not retract them until the airframe is
clear of ice.
