Sec.  33.68  Induction system icing.

    Each engine, with all icing protection systems operating, must--
    (a) Operate throughout its flight power range (including idling) 
without the accumulation of ice on the engine components that adversely 
affects engine operation or that causes a serious loss of power or 
thrust in continuous maximum and intermittent maximum icing conditions 
as defined in appendix C of Part 25 of this chapter; and
    (b) Idle for 30 minutes on the ground, with the available air bleed 
for icing protection at its critical condition, without adverse effect, 
in an atmosphere that is at a temperature between 15[deg] and 30 [deg]F 
(between -9[deg] and -1 [deg]C) and has a liquid water content not less 
than 0.3 grams per cubic meter in the form of drops having a mean 
effective diameter not less than 20 microns, followed by a momentary 
operation at takeoff power or thrust. During the 30 minutes of idle 
operation the engine may be run up periodically to a moderate power or 
thrust setting in a manner acceptable to the Administrator.
