A-98-101
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Review turbopropeller-driven airplane manufacturers' airplane flight manuals and air carrier flightcrew operating manuals (where applicable) to ensure that these manuals provide operational procedures for flight in icing conditions, including the activation of leading edge deicing boots, the use of increased airspeeds, and disengagement of autopilot systems before entering icing conditions (that is, when other anti-icing systems have traditionally been activated).
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to review airplane flight manuals and flightcrew operating manuals to ensure they include operational procedures for icing conditions, such as activating deicing boots, using increased airspeeds, and disengaging autopilot before entering icing conditions.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
