Thanks for the replies .... .Turboshaft: . .There definately is a fuel temp limitation for the jet B but I cannot see why that is a restriction considering that the Bell 212 can operate to -40 on the same fuel.. .Nick: . .Its a shame that they never got to below -34.4 as this is a definate restriction to our operation and we are only at 51 degrees N latitude. It is (as I assumed...) just a legal issue and it's comforting to know, in your opinion, that temps slightly below that limit should not be cause for serious consternation.. .Another problem is the descepancy between the OAT guage and the AWOS or tower temp. Last night while doing a maintenance run the reported OAT at the AWOS was -33 and the a/c was only reporting -28 !!. Every since I watched your icing video I have paid attention to noting any discrepancy between the two and have tried to apply a correction as necessary. . .Volpe: <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
