Engine anti-ice must be selected ON during all ground operations, and selected to either ON or AUTO during flight, when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except when the temperature is below -40°C (-40°F) OAT. Do not use engine anti-ice if OAT or TAT (on the ground) exceeds 10°C (50°F) or displayed TAT (inflight) exceeds 15°C (59°F).

Question 41

Note: Primary Ice Detection System Operative: When the primary ice detection system is being used, icing conditions exist in flight when indicated by the primary ice detection system. Primary Ice Detection System Inoperative: When the primary ice detection system is inoperative, icing conditions may exist in flight when displayed TAT is less than or equal to 15°C (59°F). In flight, when displayed TAT is greater than 10°C (50°F) but less than or equal to 15°C (59°F) and visible moisture is present, engine and wing anti-ice must be selected ON except activation may be delayed until 2500 feet AGL for takeoff.
