Unsafe Condition

The unsafe condition exists because flight crews are not provided with adequate information to determine when operating in icing conditions outside the certification envelope (Appendix C of part 25) and what actions to take, potentially leading to hazardous conditions if pilots remain in such icing conditions.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Require AFM revisions to provide flight crews with visual cues to recognize icing conditions outside the certification envelope and procedures to safely exit such conditions, including expeditious exit requirements and proper use of deicing systems.
