a) A source of lift. (heating, fast-moving front) |
|
Three Types of Structural Icing |
1) Clear Ice-forms after initial impact when the remaining liquid portion of the drop flows out over the aircraft surface, gradually freezing as a smooth sheet of solid ice. |
|
Whats the worst kind of icing? |
Clear Ice, it can get in all the little parts of the plain weighing it down a lot. |
|
Main Type of Icing |
1) Structural |
|
Is frost hazardous to flight? |
Yes b/c although it doesn't change the basic aerodynamic shape of of the wing, the roughness of the surface spoils the airflow over the wings reducing in a loss of lift which could result in the airplane not becoming airborne at normal take off speeds. |

What is a TRSA? Is it mandatory? |
