"± 0,1 % / °C from standard temperature" " - 1 % with wing anti-ice"
" - 0,5% with engine anti-ice"

Question 13
Question
31) Which one of the following statements concerning drift- down is correct?
Answer
-
The drift-down procedure requires a minimum descent angle after an engine failure at cruising altitude.
-
The drift-down procedure requires a minimum obstacle clearance of 35 ft.
-
An engine failure at high cruising altitude will always result in a drift-down, because it is not permitted to fly the same altitude with one engine inoperative as with all engines operating.
-
When determining the obstacle clearance during drift-down, fuel dumping may be taken into account.
