March 11, 201214 yr I'm trying to find in the literature a figure that defines Boeing's term "icing conditions". One would assume this is near freezing temps with visible moisture; what is the actual TAT that indicates "icing conditions" according to Boeing?Secondly, knowing that TAT is used to figure out when to use anti-ice, that would mean higher speed is desirable when in known icing, correct? ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
March 11, 201214 yr +10C. Speeding up works fine for an FB-111, not so much for a B-737, since you're pretty much always going as fast as you can. Matt Cee
March 11, 201214 yr It's in either the FCOM or FCTM.Icing conditions are less than 10C with visible moisture
March 11, 201214 yr Author +10C. Speeding up works fine for an FB-111, not so much for a B-737, since you're pretty much always going as fast as you can.Depends on altitude. I can make a difference of 4 degrees C, which can be the difference of on or off given the above info.Thanks fellas. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
March 11, 201214 yr My understanding is that Icing Conditions exist when OAT on the ground or TAT in flight is+10°C or below and visible moisture in any form is present :) Steve FOffshore Helicopter Pilot ME-IFR AW139 / Sikorsky S92 SpecsWin 106th Gen Intel Core 6700 liquid cooledIntel 100 chipset4 processor 8 way multi16GB DDR4512 GB Intel pro SSD2TB 7200 rpmSata 3 HDNvidia GTX 1060
March 11, 201214 yr TAT is not an atmospheric but rather an aircraft parameter, compunded by the atmosphere around it and its dynamic pressure, or calibrated airspeed. Icing conditions exist in or near visible moisture at static air temperatures between plus 10 and minus 20 degrees centigrade. Nothing Boeing has control over. Regards, Opher Ben Peretz
