§ 121.323
the primary ice detection system indi-
cates activation is necessary.
(ii) When the airframe ice protection
system is activated, any other proce-
dures in the Airplane Flight Manual
for operating in icing conditions must
be initiated.
(2) Visual cues of the first sign of ice
formation anywhere on the airplane
and a certificated advisory airframe ice
detection system must be provided.
(i) The airframe ice protection sys-
tem must be activated when any of the
visual cues are observed or when the
advisory airframe ice detection system
indicates activation is necessary,
whichever occurs first.
(ii) When the airframe ice protection
system is activated, any other proce-
dures in the Airplane Flight Manual
for operating in icing conditions must
be initiated.
(3) If the airplane is not equipped to
comply with the provisions of para-
graph (a)(1) or (2) of this section, then
the following apply:
(i) When operating in conditions con-
ducive to airframe icing, the airframe
ice protection system must be acti-
vated prior to, and operated during, the
following phases of flight:
(A) Takeoff climb after second seg-
ment,
(B) En route climb,
(C) Go-around climb,
(D) Holding,
(E) Maneuvering for approach and
landing, and
(F) Any other operation at approach
or holding airspeeds.
(ii) During any other phase of flight,
the airframe ice protection system
must be activated and operated at the
first sign of ice formation anywhere on
the airplane, unless the Airplane
Flight Manual specifies that the air-
frame ice protection system should not
be used or provides other operational
instructions.
(iii) Any additional procedures for
operation in conditions conducive to
icing specified in the Airplane Flight
Manual or in the manual required by
§ 121.133 must be initiated.
(b) If the procedures specified in
paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section are
specifically prohibited in the Airplane
Flight Manual, compliance must be
shown with the requirements of para-
graph (a)(1) or (2) of this section.
(c) Procedures necessary for safe op-
eration of the airframe ice protection
system must be established and docu-
mented in:
(1) The Airplane Flight Manual for
airplanes that comply with paragraph
(a)(1) or (2) of this section, or
(2) The Airplane Flight Manual or in
the manual required by § 121.133 for air-
planes that comply with paragraph
(a)(3) of this section.
(d) Procedures for operation of the
airframe ice protection system must
include initial activation, operation
after initial activation, and deactiva-
tion. Procedures for operation after
initial activation of the ice protection
system must address—
(1) Continuous operation,
(2) Automatic cycling,
(3) Manual cycling if the airplane is
equipped with an ice detection system
that alerts the flightcrew each time
the ice protection system must be cy-
cled, or
(4) Manual cycling based on a time
interval if the airplane type is not
equipped with features necessary to
implement (d)(1)–(3) of this section.
(e) System installations used to com-
ply with paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of
this section must be approved through
an amended or supplemental type cer-
tificate in accordance with part 21 of
this chapter.
