208 or 208B Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and FAA-approved AFM.
                   6. Delete the text in Appendix 3 of this AD from the "REQUIRED EQUIPMENT" in the LIMITATIONS section of the Cessna Models 208 or 208B Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and FAA-approved AFM Supplement S1 "Known Icing Equipment".

                Appendix 1

                COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS

                The airplane must be equipped with the following equipment when operating at an airport in the ground icing conditions defined under `Visual/Tactile Check' in the LIMITATIONS section:

                   1. Pilot assist handle, Cessna P/N SK208-146-2 (or FAA-approved equivalent part number)

                Appendix 2

                Lower main landing gear leading edge deice boots
                Cargo pod nosecap deice boot

                Appendix 3

                The following additional equipment is not required for flight into icing conditions as defined by FAR 25, but may be installed on early serial airplanes by using optional accessory Kit AK208-6.  On later serial airplanes, this equipment may be included with the flight into known icing package.  If installed, this equipment must be fully operational.

                Note:  FAA AD 2006-01-11R1 Amdt 39-14515 refers.
Compliance:        1. Within the next 125 days after the effective date of this AD unless already done.

                   2. Within the next 125 days after the effective date of this AD unless already done.

                   3. Within the next 125 days after the effective date of this AD unless already done.

                   4. Within the next 125 days after the effective date of this AD unless already done.

                   5. Before further flight after compliance to Requirement 3(i) or 4(i) of this AD.

                   6. Before further flight after compliance to Requirement 3(i) or 4(i) of this AD.
                This Amendment becomes effective on 26 July 2010.
Background:     This AD requires the installation of pilot assist handle and de-icing boots on the cargo pod and landing gear fairings and make changes to the POH and AFM.  This AD results from reports of several accidents involving the affected airplanes during operations in flight and in ground icing conditions.  This AD is intended to provide a safe method to detect ice, snow, frost, or slush adhering to the upper wing (a critical surface) prior to takeoff; and to reduce drag in-flight by shedding ice on the cargo pod and landing gear fairings.  Ice adhering to the upper wing surface, cargo pod, or landing gear fairings could result in a reduction in aeroplane performance with the consequences that the aeroplane cannot perform a safe takeoff or climb.

                Amendment 1 changed the applicability of the aeroplane listed in requirements 3 and 4, and changes the compliance period for requirement 2.  These changes were made following a correction to the referenced FAA AD.

                Amendment 2 corrected the aircraft described in Requirement 3 following a correction to FAA AD 2006-01-11R1 being issued.
