PARTICULAR PROCEDURES
FLIGHT INTO SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS (2/2)
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.
8 -- Report these weather conditions to Air Traffic Control.
