JAR 29.1419 lce protection
(a) To obtain certification for flight into
[icing conditions, compliance with this paragraph]
must be shown.
(b) It must be demonstrated that the
rotorcraft can be safely operated in the continuous
maximum and intermittent maximum icing
conditions determined under Appendix C within
the rotorcraft altitude envelope. An analysis must
be performed to establish, on the basis of the
rotorcraft’s operational needs, the adequacy of the
ice protection system for the various components
of the rotorcraft.
(c) In addition to the analysis and physical
evaluation prescribed in sub-paragraph (b) of this
paragraph, the effectiveness of the ice protection
system and its components must be shown by
flight tests of the rotorcraft or its components in
measured natural atmospheric icing conditions
and by one or more of the following tests as found
necessary to determine the adequacy of the ice
protection system:
(1) Laboratory dry air or simulated
icing tests, or a combination of both, of the
components or models of the components.
(2) Flight dry air tests of the ice
protection system as a whole, or its individual
components.
(3) Flight tests of the rotorcraft or its
components in measured simulated icing
conditions.
(d) The ice protection provisions of this
[paragraph are considered to be applicable]
primarily to the airframe. Powerplant installation
requirements are contained in Subpart E of this
JAR–29.
(e) A means must be identified or provided
for determining the formation of ice on critical
parts of the rotorcraft. Unless otherwise
restricted, the means must be available for nighttime
as well as daytime operation. The rotorcraft
flight manual must describe the means of
determining ice formation and must contain
information necessary for safe operation of the
rotorcraft in icing conditions.
