Unsafe Condition
Operation in known icing conditions is unsafe due to insufficient environmental condition approval.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Prohibit operation in known icing conditions immediately. Modify operating limitations placards to state 'THIS AIRPLANE IS NOT APPROVED FOR FLIGHT IN KNOWN ICING CONDITIONS'. Install specific transducer units (P/N 3E1793, 190-1, 190-2 for A60; P/N 795-1 for 99 series) per manufacturer service instructions or equivalent FAA-approved methods. After transducer installation, the placard modification and operation prohibition no longer apply.
