_________________. _________________ icing is expected in ___________________ clouds
and the type of ice is ___________________. - CORRECT ANSWER - Continuous,

Before the first flight of the day, when the airplane is cold-soaked at an ambient temperature of
______ (-22°F) or below for more than ____ hours: •The engines must be motored for ___
seconds and the fan rotation must be verified before an engine start is initiated. •Thrust reversers
must be actuated until deploy and stow cycles are ____ seconds or less - CORRECT
ANSWER - -30C, 8 hours, 60 seconds, 2 seconds
Takeoff is __________ with frost, ice, snow, or slush adhering to any critical surface (wings,
winglets, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, control surfaces, and engine inlets). -
CORRECT ANSWER - Prohibited
The flight crew performs this check when they expect to takeoff within the established holdover
time. This check is to be accomplished just prior to takeoff. The Flight Crew will conduct a
visual check from the flight deck for an accurate indication of the condition of the representative
surfaces. What are the representative surfaces on the 900? - CORRECT ANSWER - Pre-
, Takeoff Check, Windshield Wiper surface, windshield center post, leading edge and upper
surface of the wing
Whenever a holdover time has been _________, a pre-takeoff contamination check can only be
completed within ____ minutes of takeoff. The pre-takeoff contamination check must be
completed from the ______________________________________. The first officer will
complete this inspection. If the inspection reveals that the surfaces are in fact contaminated, the
aircraft must return for a new application of fluids. If the representative surfaces cannot be seen
due to snowfall, inadequate lighting or any other reason, the check must be visual or tactile from
outside the aircraft. If a definitive fluid condition determination cannot be made, takeoff is not
authorized. The aircraft must return for a new application of fluids. - CORRECT
ANSWER - Exceeded, 5, vantage point in the cabin (row 12)
After the deicing/anti-icing process is completed, the following shall be verbally communicated
with the captain - CORRECT ANSWER - Ship Number
Type of fluid used
Brand of fluid used (if type IV)
Time the final application was started in "minutes ago"
Freeze point of the fluid
Verification that post deice inspections have been completed
Clearance to start engines (if applicable)
Instructions and/or clearance to depart deice location (when applicable)
