Appendix 4 Examples of Aeroplane Flight Manual Limitations and Operating Procedures for Operations in Supercooled Large Drop Icing Conditions

A4.1 Aeroplane approved for flight in Appendix C icing conditions but not approved for flight in Appendix O icing conditions. a. AFM Limitations. Intentional flight, including take-off and landing, into supercooled large drop (SLD) icing conditions, which includes freezing drizzle or freezing rain, is prohibited. If freezing drizzle or freezing rain conditions are encountered, or if [insert cue description here], immediately request priority handling from air traffic control to facilitate a route or altitude change to exit all icing conditions. Stay clear of all icing conditions for the remainder of the flight, including landing, unless it can be determined that ice accretions no longer remain on the airframe. b. AFM Operating Procedures (Normal Procedures Section). Freezing drizzle and freezing rain conditions are severe icing conditions for this aeroplane. Intentional flight, including take-off and landing, into freezing drizzle or freezing rain conditions is prohibited. A flight delay or diversion to an alternate airport is required if these conditions exist at the departure or destination airports. [insert cue description here] is one indication of severe icing for this aeroplane. If severe icing is encountered, immediately request priority handling from air traffic control to facilitate a route or altitude change to exit all icing conditions. Stay clear of all icing conditions for the remainder of the flight, including landing, unless it can be determined that ice accretions no longer remain on the airframe. c. Flight Crew Operating Manual Operating Procedures. Warning: Hazardous icing effects may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which this aeroplane is certified. Flight into unapproved icing conditions may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or in ice forming aft of the protected surfaces. This ice might not be shed when using the ice protection systems, and may seriously degrade performance and controllability of the aeroplane. Operations in icing conditions were evaluated as part of the certification process for this aeroplane. Freezing drizzle and freezing rain conditions were not evaluated and are considered severe icing conditions for this aeroplane. Intentional flight, including take-off and landing, into freezing drizzle or freezing rain conditions is prohibited. A flight delay or diversion to an alternate airport is required if these conditions exist at the departure or destination airports. [insert cue description here] is an indication of severe icing conditions that exceed those for which this aeroplane is certified. If severe icing is encountered, immediately request priority handling from air traffic control to facilitate a route or altitude change to exit all icing conditions. Stay clear of all icing conditions for the remainder of the flight, including landing, unless it can be determined that ice accretions no longer remain on the airframe. A4.2. Aeroplane approved for flight in Appendix C icing conditions and freezing drizzle conditions of Appendix O but not approved for flight in freezing rain conditions of Appendix O. a. AFM Limitations. Intentional flight, including take-off and landing, into freezing rain conditions is prohibited. If freezing rain conditions are encountered, or if [insert cue description here], immediately request priority handling from air traffic control to facilitate a route or altitude change to exit all icing conditions. Stay clear of all icing conditions for the remainder of the flight, including landing, unless it can be determined that ice accretions no longer remain on the airframe. b.

A4.3 Aeroplane approved for flight in Appendix C and Appendix O icing conditions except for en route and holding flight phases in Appendix O icing conditions. a. AFM Limitations. Intentional holding or en route flight into freezing drizzle or freezing rain conditions is prohibited. If freezing drizzle or freezing rain conditions are encountered during a hold (in any aeroplane configuration) or in the en route phase of flight (climb, cruise, or descent with high lift devices and gear retracted), or if [insert cue description here], immediately request priority handling from air traffic control to facilitate a route or altitude change to exit all icing conditions. Stay clear of all icing conditions for the remainder of the flight, including landing, unless it can be determined that ice accretions no longer remain on the airframe. b.
