APR set to ARM
Engine anti-icing ON
Flow selectors OFF
Ignition - CONTINUOUS








Propeller and Engine/Elevator Ice Protection

Propeller and Engine/Elevator anti-icing must be switched ON during all ground and flight operations
when in icing conditions and/or potential icing conditions are anticipated.

Propeller Anti-ice:

Temperatures -5C or warmer SHORT CYCLE
Temperatures colder than -5C LONG CYCLE

Continuous Ignition
If flight in heavy precipitation such as rain, hail or snow can not be avoided, the engine IGNITION
switches must be selected to CONTINUOUS.

If taking off or landing on a contaminated runway, the engine IGNITION switches must be selected to
CONTINUOUS.
