APPENDIX 1
Supplement to the POH/AFM
Cessna Model 441 Airplanes
The ENGINE IGNITION OVERRIDE switches shall be selected to ON during all operations in actual or potential icing conditions described herein:
(1) During takeoff and climb out in actual or potential icing conditions.
*(2) When ice is visible on, or shedding from propeller(s), spinner(s), or leading edge(s).
*(3) Before selecting ANTI-ICE, when ice has accumulated.
(4) Immediately, any time engine flameout occurs as a possible result of ice ingestion.
(5) During approach and landing while in or shortly following flight in actual or potential icing
conditions.
*Note: If icing conditions are entered in flight without the engine anti-icing system having been selected, switch one ENGINE system to the ANTI-ICE ON position. If the engine runs satisfactorily, switch the second ENGINE system to the ANTI-ICE ON position and check that the second engine continues to run satisfactorily.
CAUTION
Flight in actual or potential icing conditions will be limited by duty cycle of the ignition system. Ignition system time limits must be observed to prevent exceeding duty cycle times. Operator should verify these limits for his particular installation.
For the purpose of this supplement, the following definition applies:
"Potential icing conditions in precipitation or visible moisture meteorological conditions:
(1) Begin when the OAT is plus 5 degrees C (plus 41 degrees F) or colder, and
(2) End when the OAT is plus 10 degrees C (plus 50 degrees F) or warmer.
The procedures and conditions described in this appendix supersede any other POH/AFM procedures and conditions which may be contradictory.
