CA Release in Jun 94
I have been very hesitant to join the circular arguments that have re-surfaced whilst we wait for MOD's response, but to set the record straight the icing clearance - Section R of the Interim RTS to AL1 states:
Pending resolution of the effect of engine inlet screen blockage on engine surge margins, operations in cloud or fog (visibility less than 1000M) or rain are prohibited (my bold) in ambient temperatures colder than PLUS 4 degrees C (Indicated)
The crew were well aware of these limitations and had flight planned accordingly - as acknowledged by the BOI.
