GA in icing conditions at high MSA airfields
In the event of a GA at GVA, off r/w 23 in icing conditions, (not inconceivable) should one attempt to retract flaps/slats expeditiously, or should one simply climb at G/A thrust to the recommended time limits for the a/c and powerplant, and then re-configure? The 10600 foot MSA within 10nm of the field rules out a single-engine climb at GA thrust to the MSA.
There would appear to be a need to compromise between climb angle and re-configuring, and I wonder if anyone has some guidelines for this type of case.
