Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This exemption lets pilots-in-command of scheduled commercial aircraft (MTOW over 5,700 kg) take off with only residual traces of frost, snow or ice, despite the usual prohibition on frozen contaminants.

It applies only after effective de‑icing/anti‑icing per the aircraft flight manual or manufacturer's guidance, and when the pilot judges the remaining traces won’t affect performance or instruments. In force 1 July 2006–30 June 2009.
