Suosituksen perustelu
The Operation Manual (OM) of the PA-28R-200, dated October 2005, does not provide instructions for the preventive use of alternate air to avert ice formation in the fuel injector in icing conditions. The OM, dated July 1995, of a later version of the same aircraft type, the PA-28R-201, contains instructions for the prevention of ice formation. The induction air systems of these aircraft are similar. The preventive use of alternate air can prevent ice formation in the fuel injector system.
Recommendation
The investigation commission recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) take measures to update the Operation Manual of the PA-28R-200 with a warning about the potential for ice formation in the fuel injector unit along with instructions on icing prevention, akin to later versions of the Operation Manuals for the same aircraft type.
