In Pusher Ice Mode, the activation points are adjusted by approximately how many degrees sooner than normal activation?

• A. 6 degrees sooner
• B. 8 degrees sooner
• C. 10 degrees sooner
• D. 12 degrees sooner

Answer: (B)

In Pusher Ice Mode, the stall-protection logic shifts the activation point earlier to compensate for ice on the wing. Ice reduces the wing’s effective stall angle and roughens the surface, making the airplane reach the stall regime sooner than in clean conditions. To preserve a safe margin and prevent an abrupt loss of lift, the stick pusher activates about eight degrees sooner than normal. This earlier trigger helps ensure the aircraft is protected from stall while icing conditions are present.
