Expanded Normal Procedures
Checklist Usage
Tasks are executed in one of two ways:
■ as a sequence that uses the layout of the cockpit controls
and indicators as cues (i.e., “flow pattern”)
■ as a sequence of tasks organized by event rather than panel
location (e.g., After Takeoff, Gear – RETRACTED, Flaps –
RETRACTED, APR – OFF).
Placing items in a flow pattern or series provides organization
and serves as a memory aid.
A challenge-response review of the checklist follows execution
of the tasks; the pilot monitoring (PM) calls the item, and the
appropriate pilot responds by verifying its condition (e.g.,
“Engine Anti-Ice” [challenge] – “ON” [response]).
Two elements are inherent in the execution of normal proce-
dures:
■ use of either the cockpit layout or event cues to prompt the
correct switch and/or control positions
■ use of normal checklists as “done” lists.

10th and 14th Stage Bleeds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OFF
“Braille check” the switchlights. Insure the switchlights are
out as opposed to recessed.
NOTE: In regard to the 14th stage switchlights, the AFM

only specifies that after engine start the valves are exer-
cised closed then open. Following the checklist as printed
here places the switchlights in the closed position although
the 14th stage valves remain open until the engine is start-
ed. The BLEED CLOSED legends will remain extinguished
until each engine provides its 14th stage air.
Overhead Switches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OFF

Visually check all systems switches and switchlights on the
overhead panel are in the OFF position. This is a good time
to do the same thing for all other cockpit switches and switch-
lights.

Previously for the TOC check, a pitch trim channel was
selected. Assuming Channel 2 was selected at that time, the
amber CHAN 1 INOP Switchlight will be illuminated. To com-
plete the stabilizer trim check both pilot and co-pilots’ control
switches must be used to check both channels as follows.
Channel 2 – TEST
Split Pitch Trim . . . . . . . . . . . . EACH HALF PUSH
Separately push each half of the Pitch Trim switch on
the yoke in each direction and verify the pitch trim indi-
cating pointer does not move.

and flashing M/C (4 seconds later) to come on. After dis-
connecting, verify trim pointer does not move when trim
switches are pushed.
Channel 1 – TEST
Push the pitch trim channel selector (CHAN 1
INOP/CHAN 2 INOP Switchlight) followed by the
OVSPD / CHANGE CHAN Switchlight. This (2 switch
push) action activates Channel 1 and Channel 2 pitch
trim (Channel 2 is armed ready to activate if 1 fails) and
extinguishes both CHAN1 and 2 INOP lights.

Aileron Trim . . CHECK FOR FREE MOVEMENT/NEUTRAL
Individually check that each half of the aileron trim switch
by itself causes no trim needle movement. Using both
halves of the aileron trim switches, trim left and right.
(Notice that the control wheel moves slightly coincident
with the trim commanded.)
CAUTION: Do not split both aileron switches in opposite

directions at the same time.

After at least 20 seconds after power-up of the pre-
viously noted equipment:
NOTE: The IRU test presents indications on each IRU MSU,

Lasertrak Inertial System Display Unit (ISDU), and pilot/copi-
lot EFIS instruments. The EFIS instrument indications for the
number 3 IRU test can only be viewed by activating either or
both pilots IRS REVersionary switches.
NOTE: This test of the IRUs can be considered similar to

the old fashioned GYRO tests but includes a few more
features to monitor.

NOTE: The Operating Manual Volume 2, Section 16,

page 8 indicates the IRS Test Pushbutton is “used for
maintenance purposes” and is therefore not frequently
tested by pilots during preflight.
During the 24 second test that follows the MSU annunciator

lights (ALIGN, FAULT, NAV RDY, NO AIR, ON BATT, and
BATT FAIL) illuminate during the first 8 seconds while both
pilots” EADI/EHSIs have IRS Comparison Monitor flags (4
flashing) which in turn cause both COMP MON lights on the
instrument panels, the NAV 10 channel, and the M/C to illu-
minate. On-side EADI shows bank and EHSI compass
swings to 030 and the course indicator is not in view with
the CDI. WIND SHEAR FAIL lights are illuminated.

February 2005
During the next 8 seconds, only the on-side EADI/EHSIs

show red IRS Failure flags (2, not flashing). The EHSI
heading swings to North up and only the compass-head-
ing dial is on screen. The COMP MON and NAV lights
extinguish (the “failed” IRU not being “compared”).
Initiation of the test also trips the associated IRU NO AIR
1/2/3 magnetic trip annunciator behind the pilot/copilot
seat thereby illuminating the COOL AIR FAIL light on the
instrument panel.
During the test, additional values may be observed on the
Lasertrak ISDU. As the test concludes, the once-illuminat-
ed Ground Proximity – GPW FAIL – light extinguishes.

NOTE: In Section 5 of the Challenger Operating Manual, the

“Normal shutdown of the APU” is described as follows:
“Normal shutdown of the APU is accomplished by removing
all loads from the unit then pressing out the START/STOP
switchlight on the APU CONTROL panel. When the APU
has completely stopped, pressing out the PWR-FUEL
ON/OFF switchlight de-energizes the APU fuel pump and
disconnects the electrical power supply circuit to the
START/STOP switchlight.” However, the published checklist
procedures make no note of this detail. Operators through-
out the fleet shutdown the APU “loaded” and thereafter
press out the PWR-FUEL ON/OFF Switchlight prior to the
RPM completely stopping.
CAE SFI suggests to allow the APU RPM to spin down to

20% or below before selecting the PWR/FUEL ON/OFF
Switchlight to OFF.

refer to the AFM; the Challenger Operating Manual, Vol. 1
Supplementary Procedures Section 1; Maintenance Manual,
Chapter 12 – Servicing, and applicable FAA Advisory Circulars
for deicing procedures and fluids.
NOTE: The AFM/Operating Manual has more information

about cold weather operations that is beyond the intended
scope of this publication, and should be referred to by the
Challenger aircrew in advance of deicing/anti-icing proce-
dures. Bombardier publishes additional COLD WEATHER
OPERATIONS periodicals that have valuable information
for the winter season.

After heating the cabin, operate the passenger and bag-
gage doors to ensure normal operation.
Before Starting Engines

If a pushback is required and the ramp is covered with ice or
snow, the tug may be unable to overcome aircraft idle thrust.
Under these conditions, delay engine start until pushback is
complete.
When operating on ramps covered with snow or ice, the
parking brake may be insufficient to prevent aircraft move-
ment with idle thrust.

February 2005
Engine Start
Engine Start . . . . . . . . . USE NORMAL PROCEDURES
If the engine fails to start normally, use warm air to heat the
starter valve, ignition system, and fuel control unit.
If a preheating cart was used to remove ice build-up from the
fan, start the engine before the water refreezes.
CAUTION: Before engine start, ensure that the N1 fan

rotates freely. In cold weather, water may freeze in the
lower intake area and jam the fan blades. Use warm air to
melt the ice and free the fan blades. Do not use de-
icing/anti-icing fluid to clear the fan blades.

During cold weather starts, oil pressure response will be
slow. As oil pressure builds, it may indicate higher than nor-
mal and then drop to normal readings as the engine reaches
normal operating temperature.
Maximum Oil Pressure
(3A1 engines SN# 5135
and subsequent) . . . . . . . . . 115 PSI FOR 10 MINUTES
Maximum Oil Pressure
(3A and 3A2 engines) . . . . . . . 100 PSI FOR 6 MINUTES
If there is no oil pressure indication by the time the engine
reaches idle speed, immediately shut down the engine.
Engines must remain at idle until oil pressure returns to nor-
mal range.

After Starting Engines

COWL Anti-Ice Switches . . . . . ON IN ICING CONDITIONS
Icing conditions for operations while on the ground exist with
OAT 10°C or below:
■ when visible moisture in any form is present (such as fog
with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet and ice
crystals), or
■ when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where sur-
face snow, ice, standing water or slush is present
NOTE: Use reported OAT to determine anti-ice require-

ments on the ground. The TAT/SAT readings are not reliable
when the airplane is static or moving at low speed on the
ground.

All engine instruments should have normal indications short-
ly after the engine reaches idle speed. Do not operate the
engines above idle speed until all engine instruments read
normal. Do not abruptly advance the thrust levers.
If a sudden unexplainable rise in engine ITT occurs, immedi-
ately shut down the engine.
During prolonged ground operations in moderate to severe
icing conditions, perform periodic engine run-ups every 10
minutes to as high a thrust setting as practical for 10 to 15 sec-
onds to prevent fan blade icing.
Do not advance thrust levers to takeoff power until normal
engine operation has been achieved and engine indications
are stable.

February 2005
Generators . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ON
As the generator oil warms to its normal operating temperature,
generator output may vary for five minutes after engine start.
Thrust Reversers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OPERATE
At temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), condensation and freez-
ing moisture in the thrust reverser components may degrade
system operation. The risk of this occurrence is highest when
an aircraft is moved from a relatively warm hangar to freezing
conditions for preflight preparations.
Clear the thrust reversers by operating them through three
complete (deploy/stow) cycles.
Taxi
Nosewheel Steering . . . . . . . . . . CHECK OPERATION
During taxi, check the operation of the nosewheel steering
system in both directions. Avoid large steering inputs.
Flight Controls . . . . CHECK FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
Exercise the flight controls through their full of range of trav-
el. If a flight control binds or operates abnormally, investigate
before flight.
Flaps . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . RETRACTED
To avoid contaminating the flaps with slush thrown by the
wheels, taxi with flaps retracted. Before takeoff extend flaps to
the required setting.
Ignition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OFF
Ignition system should be off to prevent continuous ignition
operation from masking engine problems. Before takeoff,
turn ignition system ON.
Taxi Speed . . . . . . . 10 KTS MAXIMUM (recommended)
Operating from Wet, Snow Covered or Slush Covered
Surfaces may require BRAKE SNUBBING (see

Aircraft/Obstacles . . . . . . . . . MAINTAIN SEPARATION

When taxiing on slush, snow, or ice, increase the separation
between other aircraft, equipment, and obstacles.
Reverse Thrust . . . . . . . . . ONLY WHEN NECESSARY
Minimize use of reverse thrust. Use only to prevent aircraft
from leaving taxiway or if nosewheel skidding occurs and air-
craft cannot be controlled any other way.
Before Takeoff
BEFORE TAKEOFF Checklist . . . . . . . . . . COMPLETE
Verify flap and trim positions are set before beginning aircraft
takeoff roll.
NOTE: Data extracted from the “blue pages” for takeoff and
landing on contaminated runways are also located on the
last three pages of the Flight Planning (performance) sec-
tion of the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH-checklist).
Wing Anti-Icing . . . . . . . . . . . . OFF UNTIL TAKEOFF

If there is anti-icing fluid on the wings, delay selecting the
wing anti-ice system on until thrust is increased for takeoff.
10th stage bleed valves must be closed for take-off and land-
ing when Cowl and/or Wing Anti-Ice is ON.
Aircraft Surfaces . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CLEAN
Visually examine the wing leading edges and upper surfaces
for signs of contamination. If the anti-icing holdover time has
been exceeded, visually inspect the wings and, if necessary,
return to the ramp and have the aircraft deiced.
Ignition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ON
CAE SimuFlight recommends both IN FLIGHT START
switchlights be selected ON.

February 2005
Takeoff
Canadair recommends NOT taking off:
■ on runways covered with more than 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) of
standing water or slush or more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) of
snow
■ with reduced takeoff power settings
■ with only one thrust reverser operational
■ with a tailwind
■ if the crosswind component exceeds 15 kts, and there is wet
or dry ice, slush, or standing water on the runway
■ if there is any wing leading edge roughness.
CAUTION: Do not rely on visual icing cues or ice detector

before turning on cowl and wing anti-icing systems. If tem-
perature is 10°C TAT or below and moisture is visible, turn
anti-icing systems on. Delaying use of anti-icing systems
until ice is visible may result in ice ingestion and engine dam-
age and or flameout.
Small accumulations of ice on the wing leading edge can
change the stall characteristics, the stall speed and the
stall margin provided by the SPS.
CAUTION: If temperature is at or below freezing and visi-

ble moisture is present, clear ice could build up on the
wing’s upper surface.

February 2005
CAE SimuFlite
Canadair also recommends:

■ knowing performance penalties incurred on contaminated
runways
■ using AFM Unapproved Supplement 2 (blue pages) for
determining takeoff distances and V1 speed
■ using normal takeoff procedures

■ monitoring engine instruments to ensure sufficient thrust is
available
■ that power be applied symmetrically to avoid aircraft yawing
during the takeoff run
■ avoiding rapid or large nosewheel/rudder steering inputs dur-
ing takeoff run
■ using rudder and ailerons to control aircraft direction
between 60 and 100 kts groundspeed
■ applying light but firm forward pressure on the control column
to improve directional control from the nosewheel
■ rotating the aircraft at 3 degrees-per-second
■ using ailerons, rudder, and elevators as required to maintain
directional control if the aircraft tends to pitch-up or roll-off
once airborne.
■ avoid over-controlling and apply smooth and continuous
flight control inputs.

CAE SimuFlite
Information Applicable to Super-Cooled

Large Water Droplet (SLD) Icing
Conditions
SLD conditions are distinct from other common icing forms
such as clear, rime, or frost because of the propensity for the
ambient liquid water to be contained in droplets of relatively
large mass and inertia thus causing a larger proportion of
water to impact the leading edge. Additionally, the droplets
impact the wing surface further aft than smaller droplets
common to the clear and rime ice varieties. This results in
formation of ice ridges on wing surfaces.
Research indicates that SLD icing conditions may be preva-
lent in pristine atmospheres typical of coastal maritime envi-
ronments, however, there are no defined means for prior
indication of SLD icing conditions or for differentiating SLD
from other forms of icing. The presence of SLD can only be
determined by observation of the resulting ice accumulation
on unprotected surfaces.
The indication of SLD on the Challenger is observation of ice
accumulation on the flight compartment (cockpit) side win-
dows. Any ice accumulation on the side windows is the indi-
cator that SLD icing conditions are present.
Operation in SLD icing is prohibited. Once SLD conditions
are recognized, pilots must ensure that both cowl and wing
anti-ice protection is ON and immediately LEAVE SLD con-
ditions. After leaving SLD icing conditions, pilots should look
for signs of ice formation aft of the heated leading edge area
of the wings. If ice is observed aft of the leading edge, con-
sult the QRH or AFM Emergency Procedures for ANTI-ICE,

Anticipate use of engine and wing anti-icing systems when
descending through visible moisture and icing conditions.
Aircraft Performance . . . . . . . . ANTICIPATE REDUCED
PERFORMANCE
When flying through icing conditions, expect degraded air-
craft performance. Observe all operating limitations.
Icing Conditions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . AVOID
Avoid holding in icing conditions. Coordinate actions with air
traffic control.
NOTE: If holding in icing conditions is necessary, flaps

must be up, highest practical airspeed must be used, and
no prolonged use of the autopilot should be considered.
Runway Conditions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . EVALUATE

Ensure that cleared runway width is adequate.

Aim for a stabilized approach at the lowest speed using high-
est flap setting possible considering conditions. Aim for land-
ing point on the touchdown zone. 10th stage bleed valves
must be closed for take-off and landing when Cowl and/or
Wing Anti-Ice is ON.

last three pages of the Flight Planning (performance) sec-
tion of the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH-checklist).
Touchdown . . . . . . . . . . . . . POSITIVE TOUCHDOWN

Make a positive touchdown on the main wheels to loosen
frozen brakes and ensure optimum wheel side forces.
Nose Wheel . . . . . LOWER TO GROUND IMMEDIATELY
Immediately lower the nose wheel to the runway and hold
light forward column force to maintain directional control.

Thrust Reversers . . . . . . . . . . DEPLOYED MAXIMUM
REVERSE THRUST
Deploy the thrust reversers as soon as possible and use
maximum reverse thrust. Minimize reverse thrust at low
speed; however max reverse thrust may be used to a com-
plete stop in an emergency.
Brakes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . APPLIED
Use normal braking pressure to reduce the possibility of a
skid. Do not pump the brakes. Allow the anti-skid to modulate
braking pressure while providing maximum braking effort.
Problematic directional control on slick runways could be
caused be excessive cycling of the anti-skid system neces-
sitating the reduction of brake pressure.
During landing roll and subsequent taxi use the brakes to
prevent progressive build up of ice on the wheels and
brakes.

February 2005
Directional Control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MAINTAINED

Maintain directional control with the rudder. The rudder is
effective to approximately 50 kts groundspeed. Carefully use
nosewheel steering to maintain directional control. Anticipate
the possibility of skidding and loss of directional control.
CAUTION: If after touchdown, but prior to reverse thrust

application, directional control is not sufficient, a go-a-
round maneuver should be made.
If a skid occurs:
Reverse Thrust . . . IDLE DEPLOY OR FORWARD THRUST
Reduce reverse thrust to idle or return to idle forward thrust
to regain directional control.
Nosewheel Steering . . REGAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
Inconsistencies of contaminated surfaces may cause exces-
sive cycling of the anti-skid system and directional control
problems. To improve directional control under these circum-
stances requires reduction of brake pressure. Excessive and
ineffective nosewheel steering inputs usually noted by “nose-
wheel chatter” may be noticeable until a less slippery surface
is encountered.

Deicing Supplemental Information

This section provides supplementary information on aircraft de-
icing, anti-icing/deicing fluids, deicing procedures, and aircraft
operating procedures. Consult the Challenger Operating
Manual (PSP 601A-6) Vol. 1 Supplementary Procedures
Section 1, Maintenance Manual Chapter 12 – Servicing, and
FAA Advisory Circulars for deicing procedures, fluid specifica-
tions, recommendations, and hazards.
Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) prohibit takeoff with snow,
ice, or frost adhering to the wings and control surfaces of the
aircraft. It is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command to
ensure the aircraft is free of snow, ice, or frost before takeoff.
Failure to adequately deice the aircraft can result in seriously
degraded aircraft performance, loss of lift, and erratic engine
and flight instrument indications.
Following extended high-altitude flight, frost can form at ambi-
ent temperatures above freezing on the wing’s underside in the
fuel tank areas. Refueling the aircraft with warmer fuel usually
melts the frost.
Deicing
When necessary, use the following methods to deice the aircraft:
■ placing the aircraft in a warm hangar until the ice melts
■ mechanically brushing the snow or ice off with brooms,

brushes, or other means
■ applying a heated water/glycol solution (one-step procedure)
■ applying heated water followed by an undiluted glycol-based
fluid (two-step procedure).
NOTE: The Freezing Point of Type I fluid mixture used

must be at least 10°C (18°F) below OAT when it is the
only fluid used for deicing/anti-icing. Therefore, if condi-
tions dictate continued anti-icing, it is imperative that Type
II, III or Type IV fluids be used.

February 2005
Deicing Fluids
Two types of anti-icing/deicing fluids are in commercial use:
SAE/ISO Types I and II/IV.
Type I fluids are unthickened glycol-based fluids that are
usually diluted with water and applied hot. They provide limited
holdover time.
Type II/III/IV fluids are thickened glycol-based fluids that are
usually applied cold on a deiced aircraft; they provide longer
holdover times than Type I fluids. During takeoff, airflow
reduces the viscosity and allows the fluid layer to flow off the
aircraft surfaces.
Type III fluids are not approved for use on the Challenger.
Many factors influence snow, ice, and frost accumulation and
the effectiveness of deicing fluids. These factors include:
CAUTION: Type I and Types II/III/IV fluids are not com-

patible and may not be mixed. Additionally, most manu-
facturers prohibit mixing of brands within type.
■ ambient temperature and aircraft surface temperature

■ relative humidity, precipitation type, and rate
■ wind velocity and direction
■ operation on snow, slush, or wet surfaces
■ operation near other aircraft, equipment, and buildings
■ presence of deicing fluid and its type, dilution strength, and
application method.

Deicing Procedures
One-step deicing involves spraying the aircraft with a heated,
diluted deicing/anti-icing fluid to remove ice, snow, or frost. The
fluid coating then provides limited protection from further accu-
mulation.
Two-step deicing involves spraying the aircraft with hot water or
a hot water/deicing fluid mixture to remove any ice, snow, or
frost accumulation followed immediately by treatment with anti-
icing fluid (usually Type II/III/IV FPD fluid).
Deice the aircraft from top to bottom. Avoid flushing snow, ice,
or frost onto treated areas. Apply from leading edges to trailing
edge and from outer panels to inner panels. Deice in the fol-
lowing sequence:
■ horizontal stabilizer
■ vertical stabilizer
■ top of fuselage
■ sides of fuselage
■ wings
CAUTION: Deicing and use of holdover times remains the

responsibility of the pilot-in-command.
NOTE: Holdover time is the estimated time that an anti-

icing/deicing fluid protects a treated surface from ice or
frost formation.
HOLDOVER TIMES ARE FROM THE

BEGINNING OF THE DEICING STEP.

February 2005
Deicing fluid SHOULD NOT be applied to:

■ pitot/static tubes, static ports, temperature probes, AOA
vanes, or TAT probe
■ gaps between control surfaces and airfoil
■ cockpit windows
■ passenger windows
■ air and engine inlets and exhausts
■ vents and drains
■ wing and control surface trailing edges
■ brakes.
CAUTION: Type II/III/IV FPD generally should not be

applied forward of the wing leading edges. If used for deic-
ing, do not apply forward of cockpit windows. Ensure that
radome and cockpit windows are clean.
During deicing observe the following.

■ Avoid excessive use of deicing fluid to prevent flushing of
slush into areas forward of control surfaces.
■ When applying fluid, avoid pressures 300 PSI or greater.
■ Exercise extreme caution when moving deicing equipment
around aircraft. Maintain adequate separation between
equipment and aircraft.
■ A fine mist of deicing fluid applied two or three times
provides better anti-icing protection than a single heavy
application.
■ Apply deicing fluid to lower surfaces if anticipating taxi and
takeoff through snow.
■ Follow all deicing fluid manufacturer’s recommendations
and procedures.

February 2005
CAE SimuFlite
■ Do not use diluted deicing fluid for anti-icing. Melting snow

will further dilute the solution and refreezing can occur.
■ After deicing the aircraft nose, wipe all remaining traces of
fluid from area in front of windshield.
NOTE: Whenever frost or ice occurs on the lower surface

of the wing indicating a cold soaked wing, the 50/50 dilu-
tions of Type II or Type IV should not be used for the anti-
icing step.
NOTE: If airplane skin temperature is colder than OAT,

use a stronger mix of deicing fluid.
Deicing fluid sprayed into an operating engine can introduce

smoke or vapors into the cabin and cockpit and pose a serious
fire hazard.
CAUTION: If engines are running when spraying of deic-

ing fluids is in progress, turn cabin and crew conditioning
switches to OFF.
Do not use deicing fluid to deice engines. Mechanically remove

snow and ice from the engine inlet. Check the first stage fan
blades for freedom of movement. If engine does not rotate
freely, deice engine with hot air.
CAUTION: Do not use deicing fluid for engines. After deic-

ing engine, start engine(s) immediately to prevent any reic-
ing condition. Select cowl anti-ice ON after engine start.
CAUTION: Deicing/anti-icing fluids have not been tested

for ice pellet precipitation. When ice pellet precipitation
occurs after the application of deicing/anti-icing fluid, the
deicing/anti-icing fluid dilutes, which results in rapid wing
contamination.

Post Deicing Procedures

Deicing Inspection
After deicing, the following areas should be free of snow, ice,
or frost:
■ wing leading edges, upper and lower surfaces, ailerons,
balance bays, flaps, ground spoilers, speedbrakes, and
fuel vents. A “hands on” inspection may be necessary.
■ horizontal and vertical stabilizer leading edges, side pan-
els, upper and lower surfaces, elevators, rudder, balance
bays, and trim tabs
■ fuselage, windshields, windows, radome, pitot tubes, stat-
ic ports, AOA probes/vanes, air inlets and exhausts, and
antennas
■ engine inlets and exhausts
■ landing gear wheels, brakes, tires, wheel well, and doors.
CAUTION: After deicing wings and empennage, check

flap wells for slush and/or ice accumulations. Ensure that
all drain holes are clear.
CAUTION: Check all primary flight control surfaces by

hand movement through full travel stop before any move-
ment is attempted with control wheel, yoke, or rudder ped-
als. Trim and control tabs should be operated through full
travel range.

Taxi
During taxi on ice or snow covered surfaces, observe the
following.
■ Maintain a greater than normal distance between aircraft.
■ Do not use reverse thrust. If reverse thrust used, reinspect
the aircraft for snow, ice, and frost accumulations.
■ Taxi with the flaps up. Do not perform Taxi/Before Takeoff
checklist until flaps are extended.
■ Periodically conduct engine run-ups to as high a thrust set-
ting as practical.
■ Turn ENGINE and WING ANTI-ICE switches ON immedi-
ately after engine start.
■ Conduct final pre-takeoff inspection five minutes before
takeoff.
Pre-takeoff Inspection
Within five minutes of takeoff, conduct an exterior aircraft
inspection from within the aircraft to:
■ note any loss of anti-icing fluid effectiveness
■ examine visible aircraft surfaces for ice and snow
accumulation
If uncertain of current aircraft condition, conduct an exterior
“hands on” inspection of the wing leading edge, wing forward
upper surface and wing rear upper surface.

February 2005
Takeoff
During takeoff observe the following.
■ Do not use reduced thrust.
■ Accomplish an engine run-up to highest practical thrust
and observe stable engine operation before brake release.
■ After setting takeoff throttle, verify that LP RPM and other
engine indications are normal.
Approach and Landing

During the descent approach observe the following.
■ Anticipate use of engine and wing anti-icing.
■ After the ground and flight spoilers are deployed and the
nosewheel contacts the runway, use maximum reverse
thrust as soon as possible.
■ With the anti-skid system operational, apply normal braking
smoothly and symmetrically to maintain direction control.
■ Do not use asymmetric thrust on icy or slippery runways.
■ Be prepared for possible downwind drift on icy or slippery
runways with crosswind when using reverse thrust.
■ Do not attempt to turn off runway at too high speeds.
