g. Landing. Extreme care must be exercised
when landing on ice or slippery runways. Excessive
use of either brakes or power may result in an
uncontrollable skid. Ice accumulation on the aircraft
will result in higher stalling airspeeds due to the
change in aerodynamic characteristics and increased
weight of the aircraft due to ice buildup. Approach and
landing airspeeds must be increased accordingly.
8-60. ICING (SEVERE).
a. The following weather conditions may be
conducive to severe in-flight icing:
1. Visible rain at temperatures below 0
C
ambient air temperature.
2. Droplets that splash or splatter on impact
at temperatures below 0
C ambient air
temperature.
b. The following procedures for exiting a severe
icing environment are applicable to all flight phases
from takeoff to landing:
1. Monitor the ambient air temperature.
While
severe
icing
may
form
at
temperatures as cold as 18
C, increased
vigilance is warranted at temperatures
around freezing with visible moisture
present.
2. Upon observing the visual cues specified
in the limitations section of this manual for
the identification of severe icing conditions,
Paragraph 5-35, accomplish the following:
a. Immediately request priority handling
from air traffic control to facilitate a
route or an altitude change to exit the
severe icing conditions in order to avoid
extended exposure to flight conditions
more severe than those for which the
aircraft has been certified.
b. Avoid
abrupt
and
excessive
maneuvering that may exacerbate
control difficulties.
c. Do not engage the autopilot.
d. If the autopilot is engaged, hold the
control wheel firmly and disengage the
autopilot.
e. If
an
unusual
roll
response
or
uncommanded roll control movement is
observed reduce the angle-of-attack.
f. Do not extend flaps during extended
operation
in
icing
conditions.
Operations with flaps extended can
result in a reduced 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.
g. If the flaps are extended, do not retract
them until the airframe is clear of ice.
h. Report these weather conditions to air
traffic control.
