WARNING
Even small amounts of frost, ice, snow or slush on the wing leading
edges and forward upper wing surface may adversely change the stall
speeds, stall characteristics and the protection provided by the stall
protection system, which may result in loss of control on take-off.
NOTE
1. Comprehensive procedures for operating in cold weather are
provided in Chapter 6; SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES – COLD
WEATHER OPERATION .
2. Take-off is permitted with frost adhering to the underside of the wing
that is caused by cold soaked fuel, in accordance with the
instructions provided in Chapter 6; SUPPLEMENTARY
PROCEDURES – COLD WEATHER OPERATION – PRE-FLIGHT
PREPARATION – External Safety Inspection .
In addition to a visual check, a tactile check of the wing leading edge, wing forward upper surface
and wing rear upper surface is required during the External Walkaround inspection to determine
that the wing is free from frost, ice, snow or slush when the outside air temperature (OAT) is 5°C
(41°F) or less, or it cannot be determined that the wing fuel temperature is above 0°C (32°F);
and:
• There is visible moisture (rain, drizzle, sleet, snow, fog, etc); or
• Water is present on the wings; or
• The difference between the dew point temperature and the OAT is 3°C (5°F) or less; or
• The atmospheric conditions have been conducive to frost formation.

7. THRUST REVERSERS
Thrust reversers are approved for ground use only.
The thrust reversers are intended for use during full stop landings. Do not attempt a go-around
maneuver after deployment of the thrust reversers.
Backing the airplane with the use of reverse thrust is prohibited.
Take-off with any of the following thrust reverser icons or EICAS messages displayed is
prohibited:
• REV icon on N1 gauge,
• L (R) REV UNLOCKED caution message, and
• L (R) REV UNSAFE caution message.
During landing, application of maximum reverse thrust is not permitted at airspeeds below
60 KIAS. Below 60 KIAS, reverse thrust must be reduced to 60% N1 or less.
The maximum demonstrated crosswind component approved for use of reverse thrust is 24 knots
[at 33 feet (10 meters) tower height]. This value was demonstrated on a dry runway, and is
considered limiting.
8. TAXI LIGHTS
The taxi lights must be selected off whenever the airplane is stationary in excess of 10 minutes.
AR Certified Airplanes
Pilots are authorized to deviate from their Air Traffic Control (ATC) clearance in order to comply
with a TCAS resolution advisory (RA) command. The pilots shall inform ATC of the deviation
from the ATC clearance following the response to the RA.
Maneuvers must not be based solely on information presented on the traffic display.
AR Certified Airplanes
13. AIRSPACE OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS
The airplane can fly in the former USSR airspace only on routes covered by ATC ground
facilities using RBS mode. If the airplane is to fly in areas that are not completely covered by
VHF stations and if the interruptions between VHF covered zones exceeds one flight hour, two
HF radios must be installed on the airplane.
AR Certified Airplanes
14. LONG RANGE NAVIGATION ACCURACY
When airplanes, not equipped with GPS, operate on routes, having a width of ±5 kilometers,
not covered by VOR/DME, it is recommended that the airplane position be confirmed by ATC
after 1 hour 30 minutes.
When airplanes, not equipped with GPS, operate on routes, having a width of ±10 kilometers,
not covered by VOR/DME, it is recommended that the airplane position be confirmed by ATC
after 3 hours.
AR Certified Airplanes
15. GROUND OPERATIONS IN HIGH WIND CONDITIONS
In the event that the airplane is parked and sustains winds or gust loads in excess of
27 meters/second, an inspection and functional check of the aileron, elevator and rudder
power control units is required.
AR Certified Airplanes
16. OPERATIONS FROM GRAVEL RUNWAYS
Operations from gravel runways are prohibited.
CAUTION
Errors to VNAV defined paths may occur because of coding errors in
the navigation data base and because of altimetry errors. The actual
VNAV path may deviate significantly below the intended VNAV path in
very cold temperatures, unless an approved temperature compensation
function (if equipped) is used to correct for non-standard temperatures.
Database coding of VNAV altitudes for approach waypoints may result
in VNAV paths continuing below Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA),
Decision Altitude (DA), or Decision Height (DH), or ending at an altitude
too high to continue a safe descent to landing. VNAV paths (often
called pseudo-glide paths) are not equivalent to an ILS glideslope.
Position along an approach must be verified prior to commencement of
VNAV descent, as displayed by the FMS. The required visual reference
must be obtained prior to commencing descent below published MDAs,
DAs, or DHs.
Use of VNAV vertical guidance for a V-MDA type approach between the final approach fix and
the missed approach fix is prohibited.
The FMS, with inputs from GPS, may only be used for approach guidance if the reference
coordinate data system for the instrument approach is WGS–84 or NAD–83.
AR Certified Airplanes
The FMS V speed data is advisory only.
The following performance database, part number 815–9079–001, must be verified to be current
and valid.
The following V speed database, part number 815-9174-001, must be verified to be current and
valid.
The FMS does not reduce available runway lengths for runways with displaced thresholds. When
using FMS approach performance data for a runway with a displaced threshold, the pilot must
manually enter the RWY LENGTH value with the actual available landing distance from a
published chart.
When RWY LENGTH is manually entered, the FMS does not compute headwind/crosswind;
these must be manually entered on the CDU.
NOTE
Compliance with the standards noted above does not constitute an
operational approval.
Enroute and Terminal Navigation
• Use of the FMS with the GPS is approved for supplemental means of navigation source for
enroute and terminal operations.
• The FMS installation meets the performance/accuracy criteria of AC 20–130A, Airworthiness
Approval of Navigation or Flight Management Systems Integrating Multiple Navigation
Sensors, for enroute and terminal area navigation.
NOTE
1. Pre-flight GPS (GNSS) predictive RAIM checks are not required
unless the procedure specifically requires GPS (GNSS), or when
GPS is planned to be the only available FMS position sensor.
2. For Type B (RNAV–1) procedures, VOR SENSOR USAGE must be
selected to ON on each CDU VOR/DME CONTROL page, unless
GPS is available and RAIM availability is confirmed during pre−flight
planning.

6. DATA LINK
Use of OCEANIC CLEARANCE function is prohibited.
The DATALINK is approved for the transmission and receipt of messages that will not create an
unsafe condition if the message is improperly received. An unsafe condition may exist if:
• The message, or part of the message, is delayed or not received,
• The message is delivered to the wrong recipient, or
• The message content is corrupted.
Crew action-based messages, such as pre-departure clearance, oceanic clearance, digital
automatic terminal information service, weight and balance, take-off data (speeds, trim settings,
runway distances) are prohibited, unless the approved operational procedures are used to verify
that the message is received by the intended recipient, that the message is valid, and that the
content is not corrupted.
