(d) Operate at ground idle speed for a
minimum of 30 minutes at each of the 
following icing conditions shown in 
Table 2 of this section with the avail-
able air bleed for icing protection at its 
critical condition, without adverse ef-
fect, followed by acceleration to take-
off power or thrust. During the idle op-
eration, the engine may be run up peri-
odically to a moderate power or thrust 
setting in a manner acceptable to the 
Administrator. Analysis may be used 
to show ambient temperatures below 
the tested temperature are less crit-
ical. The applicant must document any 
demonstrated run ups and minimum 
ambient temperature capability in the 
engine operating manual as mandatory 
in icing conditions. The applicant must 
demonstrate, with consideration of ex-
pected airport elevations, the fol-
lowing:

§ 33.69
Ignitions system.
Each engine must be equipped with
an ignition system for starting the en-
gine on the ground and in flight. An 
electric ignition system must have at 
least two igniters and two separate sec-
ondary electric circuits, except that 
only one igniter is required for fuel 
burning augmentation systems.
