If deicing were not an option, I would have had to get a hotel and wait until the frost melted off the next day, or some liquid deicing were available. In no case would I have attempted to take off with it on the wing surface. Why? It is acceptable to "polish the frost smooth" per FAR 91.527. Interesting. It seems a rather dubious practice to me. It would indeed appear to be legal in the US - but, FWIW, it isn't legal in Canada. Why? Smooth frost is less of an aerodynamic issue that a thick layer of dirt, bugs and dust... Matt |
