HC - my answer would be that you can't because there is no specific clearance to say you can
In the EC225 flight manual it doesn't mention that its OK to do a spot turn. Does that mean I can't do one?

Shy:
Look in the RFM.
Good suggestion! But whilst the main part of the RFM says "flight in icing conditions prohibited", there is a Supplement that allow flight in limited icing conditions with specified equipment and caveats, however it doesn't say that flight in freezing precipitation is prohibited.

JohnDixon - it would be nice if the RFM covered this point but it doesn't...
