ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION
01-30-10: General
lcing conditions exist on the ground or in flight when the Static Air
Temperature (SAT) is +10'C (50"F) or below, and visible moisture in any
form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain,
snow, sleet and ice crystals).
lf the SAT is +10"C (50'F) or below, icing conditions may exist when
operatlng on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, ice,
standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on the
engines. nacelles or engine sensor probes.
Takeoff s prohibited with frost, ice, snow, or slush adhering to the wings,
control surfaces, engine inlets, or other critical surfaces.
Avisual and tactile (hand on surface) check of the wing leading edge and
the wing upper surface must be performed to ensure the wing is free from
frost, ice, snow, or slush when the outside air temperature is less than
42'F (6'C), or if it cannot be asce(ained that the wing fuel temperature is
above 32'F (0'C); and
o There is visible moisture (rain, drizzle, sleet, snow fog, etc.) present;
or
. Water is present on the wing; or
o The difference between the dew point and the outside air
temperature is 5'F (3'C) or less; or
o The atmospheric conditions have been conducive to frost formation.
01-30-20: Wing Anti-lcing

Operation of wing anti-icing is required if icing conditions are imminent, or
immediately upon detection of ice formation on wings, winglets or
windshield edges.
01-30-30: Cowl Anti-lcing

Cowl anti-icing is required for taxi and takeoff when Static Air Temperature
(SAf) is 10'C (50"F) or below and visible moisture, precipitatron, orwet
runway are present. When taxiing or holding on the grou nd at low power in
temperatures less than 1"C (34'F), engine operation at 40% LP for ten
(10) seconds is recommended just prior to takeoff and at intervals of not
more than sixty (60) minutes under these temperature and moisture
conditions.
Use of the cowl anti-icing system is required in flightas indicated in Figure
1: Temperature Range For Cowl Anti-lcing, when visible moisture or
precipilation is present, orwhen signs of icing are observed. lce accretion
may be observed on the wings or windshield edges.
Engine vibrations may increase when icing occurs- The fan should
normally shed the ice, and vibrations will return to a normal level. To help
shed the ice when high vibration occurs and operational circumstances
permit, one engine at a time may be quickly retarded to idle, held there for
five (5) seconds and then accelerated to 90% LP The power lever may
then be returned to its original position.

5 Alarm Limits: The RNP implementation for the

FMS is consistent with the industry guidance
provided in DO-236B and DO-283.
lmplementation of RNP requirements resulted
tn certain differences from the TSO-C'I29a
requirements. The FMS provides a
containment integrity limit as defined in
DO-236B The RNP containment limit is
defined as two times the RNP value, and the
default RNP values are defined as 0.3 for
Approach, 1.0 for Terminal Area, 2.0 for
Enroute, and 10.0 for Oceanic/Remote.
These different alarm limits are summarized
in the following table:

procedure, the FMS limits the alarm limit to
0.3 for consistency with TSO-C129a.
However, for other approach procedures, the
DO-236B alarm limit applies. For airplanes
having ASC 084 (or later approved revisions),
the FMS alarm limit for RNP AR approaches
less than 0.3 RNP is '1 .5 (one and one-half)
times the RNP value.
7 For airplanes having ASC 084 (or later
approved revisions). and operators having
RNP AR approval, the RNP values for RNAV
(RNP) approaches are retrieved from the
navigation database. When loading a RNAV
(RNP) approach with multiple RNP value
minima into the FMS, either graphically or
using the MCDU, the FMS will default to the
lowest RNP value minima. Changing the RNP
value minima can only be done using the
MCDU.

There rs no provision for IRS "Down Mode Align".
NOTE:
Honeywell HG2100AB and HG2100BB Series IRS
equipment installed in the Gulfstream G550 have been
cedified for alignment to 78' Latitudes. For alignment
between 70" and 78' Latitude, fifteen (15) minute
alignment time is required. For flight above 73" N and 60'
S Latitude, Electronic Flight lnformation System (EFIS)
heading information must be switched from magnetic

There are no restrictions for in air automatic alignment -
Align ln Motion (AlM). However, the AIM time may be less
than ten ('1 0) minutes or more than twenty (20) minutes if
any of the following conditions are present either alone or
in combination:
o No change in heading during alignment
. No changes in acceleration during alignment
o An east to west flight trajectory such that the lRUs
sensed rotational rates in inertial space is nearly equal
to zero (0).
NOTE:
Airplane maneuvers involving changes in heading
reduces alignment time. Alignment time increases with

12 Containment lntegrity Exposure Period: The

containment integrity requirement defined in
DO-2368 is that the probability of total system
error exceeding the crosstrack containmen_t
limit without ai'nunciation be less than 10-s
per flight hour. This integrity requirement is
divided equally between faulted and fault free
pefformance. The probability of faulted
perfor-mance has been shown to be less than
5x l0-o per flight hour. For fault free
performance, the instantaneous probability of
exceeding the integrily limit has been shown
to be less than 5x10-b. however the exposure
period has not been considered in the fault
free case.
t5 Along-track Accuracy: Containment alerting is
based on cross-track navigation performance;
however, navigation accuracy is required in
both the cross-track and alongtrack
dimensions. Because of the unique NAVAID
geometries involved in the DME/DME and
VOR/DME updating modes, navigation
performance is optimized in the crosstrack
dimension. As a result, along{rack accuracy
has not been demonstrated to meet the RNP
requirement for these modes. For DME/DME,
the worst-case alongtrack uncertainty is 0.47
NM on a 95% basis wherever signals can be
received. For VOR/DME, the worst-case
along{rack position uncertainty will occur
when the VOR is abeam the airplane at the
maximum permissible distance based on the
figure of merit (service volume) of the facility.
14 Minimum RNP: The minimum demonstrated
RNP capabilities are defined as follows,
based on demonstrated navigation capability
and assumed Flight Technical Error (FTE).

Navigation (LRN) systems provided that two FMS's, two
GPS position sensors or two lnertial Reference System
(lRS) are operational or one GPS and one IRS sensor
are operational.
(2) Aircraft may be flown on routes requiring one LRN
system provided that one FMS, one GPS sensor, or one
IRS position sensor is operational.
G. Limited to 5.0 hours of IRS-only navigation after the last
GPS, DME/DME, or VOR/DME update.
D. When DME/DME position sensor is used, one IRS position
sensor must be available to bridge gaps in DME
infrastructure. This is referred to on charts as DME/DME/
IRU.
E. P-RNAV does not require IRS support for the DME/DME
position sensor.
F. VOR, VOR/DME, TACAN or VOR/DME RNAV approaches.
6. SBAS Enabled GPS Navigators:
For airplanes having ASC 084 (or later approved revision) SBAS
enabled GPS navigators are in compliance with TSO-145c.
7. Non-WGS-84 Airspace / Countries Partially Compliant with
WGS-84:
When operating in non-WGS-84 airspace or in countries where the
airspace is parlially compliant with WGS-84, the FMS with GPS
position updating meets the required navigation accuracy and may
be used for SIDS, STARS and en route navigation When flying lLS,
VOR orADF approaches and missed approach procedures in these
two situations, the GPS updating does not need to be inhibited or
deselected provided the appropriate raw data is used throughout the
approach and missed approach as the primary navigation reference.
For countries that are partially WGS-84 compliant, when RNAV
(GNSS) approaches are offered, these approaches may be flown
using the FMS with GPS position updating provided the approach
chart is annotated with "PANS OPS".

1. General:
TheAPU can be operated on the ground, during takeoff, in flight and
during landing. ln flight it is an optional source of electrical powervia
the APU GEN instead of one or both engine-driven generators. The
APU can be used to supply pressurization airflow during Bleeds OFF
takeoff up to 1500 ft. AGL. See Section 02-08-160, Bleeds OFF
Takeoff Procedure The APU may be used for starter-assisted main
engine starts below 30,000 ft. if required. The operational limit is
45,000 ft. and below.
2. Maximum Permissible EGT:
o Start: 1050"C
. Running: 732"C
3. Maximum Rotor Speed:
The maximum rotor speed for all conditions is 106%o.
4. APU Starting Limits:
Continuous operation of the APU starter, when powered by airplane
bafteries, is limited to a maximum of three consecutive start
attempts. A one-hour cool down period must be observed before the
next full starter cycle is commenced.
APU start attempts when powered by an external DC cart are limited
to a maximum of three attempts. A 1S-minute cool down is required
between start attempts to protect airplane wiring. A one-hour cool
down period must be observed before the next full starter cycle is
commenced.
WAIT .15 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANOTHER

APU START USING EXIERNAL DC POWER THIS
