DA 62 AFM
Supplement S02 Ice Protection System
1. GENERAL
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This supplement to the AFM contains all necessary information to operate the ice protection
system of the DA 62.
The DA 62 can be equipped with an optional ice protection system in accordance with the
Optional Design Change Advisory OÄM 62-002. It distributes a thin film of de-icing fluid on the
wings, vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer, propellers, and windscreen. This prevents the
formation and accumulation of ice.
NOTE
The ice protection system is not approved for flight into known or
forecast icing conditions. In case of an inadvertent icing encounter,
leave icing area immediately. Refer to Chapter 3.13.4 -
UNINTENTIONAL FLIGHT INTO ICING.
NOTE
The ice protection system is not a “de-icing” system in the usual
sense. It can remove only small accumulations of ice. Its main
purpose is to prevent the accretion of ice.

Ice Protection System DA 62 AFM
Supplement S02
WARNING
Some icing conditions have the potential of producing hazardous
ice accumulations, which (1) exceed the capabilities of the airplane's
ice protection equipment, and/or (2) create unacceptable airplane
performance. Inadvertent operation in these conditions may be
detected by heavy ice accumulation on the windshield, or when ice
forms on the side areas of the canopy. Another indication is the rapid
formation and shedding of bars of ice (6 mm (1/4 in) thickness or
larger) from the porous panels. If these conditions are encountered,
the pilot should take immediate action to select HIGH/MAX flow rate,
and leave these conditions by changing altitude, turning back, or
even continuing on the same course if clear air is known to be
immediately ahead. This may best be achieved by climbing to
warmer air above the freezing rain or drizzle. Maximum climb power
with flaps retracted should be used.
1.5 DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
(b) Meteorological Terms
De-ice or de-icing: The periodic shedding or removal of ice accumulations from a surface,
by destroying the bond between the ice and the protection surface.
Freezing Drizzle: Drizzle is precipitation on the ground or aloft in the form of liquid water
drops that have diameters less than 0.5 mm, and greater than 0.05 mm
(50 μm to 500 μm, 0.002 in to 0.02 in). Freezing drizzle is drizzle in liquid
form that exists in air temperatures less than 0 °C (32 °F), i.e.
supercooled water, and freezes upon contact with objects on the surface
or airborne.
Freezing Rain: Rain is precipitation on the ground or aloft in the form of liquid water drops
which have diameters greater than 0.5 mm (0.02 in). Freezing rain is rain
in liquid form that exists at air temperatures less than 0 °C (32 °F), i.e.
supercooled water, and freezes upon contact with objects on the surface

or airborne.
Ice Crystals: Any one of a number of macroscopic, crystalline forms in which ice
appears. Examples are hail and snow.
Icing conditions: An icing condition is defined as visually detected ice, or the presence
of visible moisture in any form at or below an indicated outside air
temperature (OAT) of +5 °C (41 °F).
Mixed Phase Icing Conditions:
A homogeneous mixture of supercooled water drops and ice crystals
existing within the same cloud environment.
Supercooled Water: Liquid water at a temperature below the freezing point of 0 °C (32 °F).
(i) Miscellaneous
Protected Surface: A surface containing ice protection, typically located at the surface’s
leading edge.
Residual Ice: Ice that remains on a protected surface immediately following the
actuation of a deicing system

2. OPERATING LIMITATIONS
NOTE
There is no change in existing operating limitations of the airplane.
The following information is exclusively to reflect the new indications
and information related to the ice protection system.
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1 USE OF THE AUTOPILOT
Use of the autopilot is prohibited when any ice is observed forming aft of the protected surfaces
of the wing, or when unusual lateral trim requirements or autopilot trim warnings are encountered.
NOTE
The autopilot may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse changes
in handling characteristics; therefore, the pilot should consider not
using the autopilot when any ice is visible on the airplane.
2.2 AIRSPEED
Airspeed IAS Remarks
Minimum airspeed for inadvertent
operation in icing conditions 90 KIAS These limitations do not apply for
take-off, landing, and maneuvers.
Maximum airspeed for inadvertent
operation in icing conditions 160 KIAS

3.13 OTHER EMERGENCIES
3.13.4 UNINTENTIONAL FLIGHT INTO ICING
WARNING
If ice is observed forming aft of the protected surfaces of the wing,
or if unusual lateral trim requirements, or autopilot trim warnings are
encountered, accomplish the following:
* The flight crew should reduce the angle of attack by increasing
speed as much as the airplane configuration and weather allow,
without exceeding design maneuvering speed.
* If the autopilot is engaged, hold the control stick firmly and
disengage the autopilot. Do NOT re-engage the autopilot until the
airframe is clear of ice. The autopilot will NOT maintain airspeed
if ice accretes on the airplane. MONITOR airspeed closely.
* Leave the icing area immediately by changing altitude, turning
back, or even continuing on the same course if clear air is known
to be immediately ahead.
* Report these weather conditions to air traffic control.

CAUTION
Do not delay activation of the ice protection system if icing conditions
are encountered.
CAUTION
The stall warning in icing conditions may not be reliable and must
not be relied upon in icing conditions.
WARNING
Flight in freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed phase icing
conditions (supercooled water and ice crystals) may result in
hazardous ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the
capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming
aft of the protected surfaces. This ice may not be shed using the
ice protection systems, and it may seriously degrade the
performance and controllability of the airplane.
CAUTION
Move ailerons, elevator, and rudder periodically to mitigate potential
control locking due to ice accretion.

3.15 ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM EMERGENCIES
3.15.1 FAILURE OF THE ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM
A “failure” of the ice protection system is any condition in which the system fails to remove ice
from protected surfaces, including the propellers.
1. Leave the icing area (by changing altitude or turning back or even continuing on
the same course if clear air is known to be immediately ahead).
2. Maintain airspeed above 90 KIAS until final approach and landing.
3. Flap extension is limited to the T/O position.
WARNING
With an inoperative ice protection system, set both POWER levers
to MAX, and leave icing conditions as soon as possible. In heavy
icing conditions, it may not be possible to maintain altitude or proper
glide path on approach; in this case, it is imperative that a safe
airspeed be maintained; the stall warning system may not function,
and there may be little or no pre-stall buffet with heavy ice loads on
the wing leading edges.
4. Increase landing distance from AFM Section 5.3.12 by a factor of 1.4.

pumps - can be removed from the feeder lines to the main pumps
by activating the windshield pumps several times.
NOTE
Do not operate the main pumps with an empty de-icing fluid tank.
Operating the main system pumps with an empty de-icing fluid tank
can cause a future system malfunction. To re-establish full system
function, special maintenance action is required.
