The FAA is correcting a final
rule published on August 22, 2011 (76

amended its regulations to create new
operating rules for flight in icing
conditions. This document corrects an
error in the amendatory language of the
final rule which inadvertently led to the
omission of the new section from the
Code of Federal Regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 22, 2011, the FAA
published a final rule entitled,
‘‘Activation of Ice Protection,’’ (76 FR
52241).
In that final rule the FAA added
operating rules for flight in icing
conditions. For certain airplanes
certificated for flight in icing, the new
standards require either installation of
ice detection equipment or changes to
the airplane flight manual to ensure
timely activation of the airframe icing
protection system. The FAA
inadvertently wrote the amendatory
language incorrectly to say that we were
revising § 121.321 when, in fact, we
were creating that section and adding it
to the CFR.
The Technical Amendment
This technical amendment corrects
the amendatory language of the final
rule to indicate that § 121.321 is being
added, not revised.
Because the change in this technical
amendment results in no substantive
change, we find good cause exists under
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the
amendment effective in less than 30
days.

Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
The Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
amends Chapter I of Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations, as follows:

§ 121.321
Operations in icing.
After October 21, 2013, no person
may operate an airplane with a
certificated maximum takeoff weight
less than 60,000 pounds in conditions
conducive to airframe icing unless it
complies with this section. As used in
this section, the phrase ‘‘conditions
conducive to airframe icing’’ means
visible moisture at or below a static air
temperature of 5 °C or a total air
temperature of 10 °C, unless the
approved Airplane Flight Manual
provides another definition.
(a) When operating in conditions
conducive to airframe icing, compliance
must be shown with paragraph (a)(1), or
(2), or (3) of this section.
(1) The airplane must be equipped
with a certificated primary airframe ice
detection system.
(i) The airframe ice protection system
must be activated automatically, or
manually by the flightcrew, when the
primary ice detection system indicates
activation is necessary.
(ii) When the airframe ice protection
system is activated, any other
procedures in the Airplane Flight
Manual for operating in icing conditions
must be initiated.
(2) Visual cues of the first sign of ice
formation anywhere on the airplane and
a certificated advisory airframe ice
detection system must be provided.
(i) The airframe ice protection system
must be activated when any of the
visual cues are observed or when the
advisory airframe ice detection system
indicates activation is necessary,
whichever occurs first.
(ii) When the airframe ice protection
system is activated, any other
procedures in the Airplane Flight
Manual for operating in icing conditions
must be initiated.
(3) If the airplane is not equipped to
comply with the provisions of
paragraph (a)(1) or (2) of this section,
then the following apply:
(i) When operating in conditions
conducive to airframe icing, the
airframe ice protection system must be

icing specified in the Airplane Flight
Manual or in the manual required by
§ 121.133 must be initiated.

specifically prohibited in the Airplane
Flight Manual, compliance must be
shown with the requirements of

airplanes that comply with paragraph
(a)(3) of this section.
(d) Procedures for operation of the
airframe ice protection system must
include initial activation, operation after
initial activation, and deactivation.
Procedures for operation after initial
activation of the ice protection system
must address—
(1) Continuous operation,
(2) Automatic cycling,
(3) Manual cycling if the airplane is
equipped with an ice detection system
that alerts the flightcrew each time the
ice protection system must be cycled, or
(4) Manual cycling based on a time
interval if the airplane type is not
equipped with features necessary to
