Winter Flying Tips For Pilots of Light Aircraft - Landing & After Flight

Hello, my name is Ben Lovegrove and in this video I'm going to read a section of the CAA's Safety Sense Leaflet Number 3 - Winter Flying.

The leaflet has been reproduced here in video format with the kind permission of the CAA.

INTRODUCTION.
The purpose of this video is to advise pilots/operators of aeroplanes, helicopters and microlights of some of the problems they may encounter while flying in winter.

LANDING.

a) If on arrival you descend with an iced-up aeroplane and windshield and cannot see, use the DV window. However, it is better to hold off if you can while ice melts than to try to land with restricted visibility.

b) Most icing accidents occur when the pilot loses control during approach or landing. Even a thin coat of ice on the aircraft justifies a 20% increase in approach speed. It will extend the landing run – perhaps on a slippery runway. The handling may be different, don’t make large or abrupt changes in power or flap settings.

c) If you suspect, because of changed stick forces or vibration, that there is ice on the tailplane, a flapless or partial flap landing may be advisable (the handbook/manual gives flapless-approach speeds). This reduces the tailplane load and the likelihood of tailplane stall, which can result in a VERY severe pitch down. Recovery is by REDUCING THE FLAP angle and by pulling hard – over 50 kg (110 lb) may be necessary.

Continued in the video...

SUMMARY.

• Stay out of icing conditions for which the aircraft has NOT been cleared.
• Note freezing level in the aviation weather forecast. Don’t go unless the aircraft is equipped for the conditions.
• Have warm clothing available for pre-flight and in case of heater failure or forced landing.
• Mud, snow and slush will lengthen take-off and landing runs, so work out your distances.
• Remove all frost, ice and snow from the aircraft – there is no such thing as a little ice.
• Check carefully that all essential electrical services, especially pitot heat, are working properly.
• Check that the heater and demister are effective. Watch out for any signs of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Be extra vigilant for carb ice.
• If ice does start to form, act promptly, get out of the conditions by descending (beware of high ground), climbing or diverting.
• If you encounter ice, tell ATC so that others can be warned.
• During the approach if you suspect tailplane ice, or suffer a severe pitch down, RETRACT THE FLAPS.
• If you have to land with an iced up aeroplane, add at least 20% to the approach speed.
• Snow-covered, icy or muddy runways will make the landing run much longer and crosswinds harder to handle. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LITTLE ICE.
