Taxiing in snow, slush, or ice presents several hazards. Traction, braking, and directional control are reduced, and taxiway lights and signs may be snow covered. Be especially cautious of taxiing through deep slush or puddles. Slush may splash onto your landing gear or control surfaces, among other surfaces and freeze. When in doubt, conduct an external inspection.

Watch for prop and jet wash that can blow slush onto control surfaces, or accelerate fluid failure.
