Continuous ignition

[TomAce 78]

Hi!

In the Vol3 tutorial documentation (page 54) is says the continuous ignition should be activated before take-off. But I can't find a place that tells me when to deactivate after take-off. When should it be deactivated? After flaps is up? At FL100/10000ft?

 

Best regards

In my company continuous ignition is not a basic requirement for take-off. Aside, whenever deemed necessary, there are certain conditions, where its use is mandatory:

• Take-off and landing on contaminated runways
• Flight through moderate or heavier intensity rain
• Flight through moderate or heavier intensity turbulence
• Flight in the vicinity of thunderstorms

Thanks for clarifying that. But if you use it, at what stage do you turn it off?

You just use it as the situation requires.

 

E.g. you are on the ILS and your weather radar shows a CB with moderate precipitation on short final. So, you would switch continuous ignition on some time in advance and switch it off again when leaving the runway or with the after landing items.
