Airbus A350 pilots get new instructions for flying in freezing fog

The US aviation regulator is updating the flight manual for Airbus A350 planes. Pilots will now have clear steps to follow when taxiing in freezing fog conditions.

Airlines and pilots rely on flight manuals for every procedure, especially in tricky weather. This update closes a gap where the manual gave incorrect information about how long a plane could taxi in freezing fog. It means pilots now have the correct, mandatory procedures to ensure safety in specific conditions.
