Ice and de-icing

I think, if there is no visible ice on the airframe (in the case of the simulated Challenger here, you'd only have to look at the wings), you wouldn't need to use de-ice at all?

Anti-ice is another thing, there are indeed guidelines for that but I cannot remember them off the top of my head.

Regards,

Tim

Thanks for answering Tim. I asked this question because I experienced 2 crashes at take-off : the plane was unable to climb. There was no precipitations nor visible ice on the wings, but the temperature was 1-2° C and the dew point closed to that.

So, I suspect that in some cases, there is a need to de-ice the plane even without visible ice on the wings.

Under 10C, you should have the AI on, no matter what, until up and clear of moisture.
