NOTES
| 1 | Based on tests of neat fluids with the lowest viscosity deliverable on the aircraft, yet meeting Type IV WSET and HHET. |
| 2 | During conditions that apply to aircraft protection for ACTIVE FROST. |
| 3 | The lowest use temperature is limited to -10°C (14°F). |
| 4 | Use light freezing rain holdover times if positive identification of freezing drizzle is not possible. |
| 5 | Heavy snow, snow pellets, ice pellets, moderate and heavy freezing rain, and hail. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Ensure that the lowest operational use temperature (LOUT) is respected. |
CAUTIONS
- The time of protection will be shortened in heavy weather conditions, heavy precipitation rates, or high moisture content. High wind velocity or jet blast may reduce holdover time below the lowest time stated in the range. Holdover time may also be reduced when aircraft skin temperature is lower than OAT.
- The only acceptable decision criteria time is the shortest time within the applicable holdover time table cell.
- Fluids used during ground deicing do not provide ice protection during flight.
