Frost on wings?

[Almerick07]

It is safe only if immediately after polishing the wings you polish your shoes too.

You obviously haven't been to some of the places I have

 

[9GClub]

Empennage: CHECK
Wheel chocks: REMOVE
Wing frost: POLISH SMOOTH
Fuel selector: SCREW IT
ELT: ON/TRANSMIT

Well, half of the posters on here would have been fired at some of the places I have worked. The ops manual says "polished smooth" and so do the regs. You run in and say you can't fly today because you can't remove the frost (no hangar, no de-ice available). You are fired.

This technique is SOP for flying in western Alaska.

The original question was about a general aviation trainer, not a friggin' CL-65. Polish it and go fly.

Polishing the ice....great! Now I have more duties I can assign to my copilot, along with polishing the wings, nacelles, etc.

J/K G!

Now English, you just gotta change that Avatar! I thought some dispatcher was giving this advice.

"Polishing smooth" applies to frost. The original question asked about frost and ice.

"Polishing smooth" is not permitted for ice. Remove the ice.



(Half? I demand a recount! )

First of all, English is most definitely a she.

Second, it's doubtful that the cat is hers. The picture has circulated elsewhere.

Third, I don't mind the picture. It's just that I've grown to associate that picture with another member of this board who goes by the name dsptchrNJA . That's why I provided the link in that post. I was being facetious, but she's gotta change it so I won't be so confused!
