Abstract
The tail surfaces of the European Airbus A 300 are not equipped with a de-icing or anti-icing system. It could be shown by analysis and tests that, under maximum icing conditions defined in FAR 25, the aircraft remains completely safe, stable and controllable within its flight envelope. This paper outlines the procedure applied to determine the ice accretion on the unprotected surfaces and its influence on the aerodynamic characteristics of the airplane.
