Cold weather ops
Evening all....
Trying to find out variations/observations (if any) in standards regarding the following.
Having been de-iced/anti-iced does anyone use improved climb/high Vr techniques (assuming a non contaminated runway and it being sufficiently long enough) for take off?
Understanding the shearing properties of the fluid on the wing are one reason not to apply the above method. But having an improved margin over stall might push you the other way? Especially if you are not using wing A/I having just been anti-iced.
Any thoughts appreciated...
