old dog Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 -40C....for flying anyway. Can't go below that in a 212. Finally warmed up so we could fly yesterday and today. Was -40 with 25kt wind at Jenny Lind Island (70NM E of YCB) - but its a dry cold. The most fun is refuelling at that temp. Trying to roll up our fuel hoses was like trying to bath a cat. The AME said we had a contrail on departure....wish I had a picture. Actually, page 1-6 of the 212 RFM states -54 degrees C is the lower limit. We occasionally got into the -50's in Tuk years ago.
