REFERENCE
f.
Windshield
anti-ice
operation
-
Check.
The
electrothermal
windshield will prevent initial ice
adhesion to the glass, but will not
remove ice already formed on the
windshield.
Therefore,
anti-icing
switches must be placed ON before
entering icing conditions. When
glass temperature exceeds 43°C,
operational
checks
of
the
electrothermal windshields will be
unreliable.
g.
Battery switch- OFF.
h.
Seat belts - Check for proper installation.
Check date marked on seat belts with

installations (Mission Test Flight).
j.

if
