Question 1

Icing conditions

Answer 1

Icing conditions are prevalent between 5 C to -20 C

Question 2

Rime

Answer 2

Forms between -10C to -20C, forms quickly creating air pockets that have rough milky appearance

Question 3

Mixed

Answer 3

Occurs between -8C to -15C it’s a mixture of rime and clear

Question 4

Clear

Answer 4

Most dangerous, forms slowly sometimes behind protective surfaces, forms mostly between 0C to -10C
(More water vapor means more ice which means more drag)

Question 5

How to Avoid Icing

Answer 5

Get out of icing zones, if in icing keep speed up and use less flaps, avoid tail stalls, and wing stalls

Question 6

Tail Stall fixes

Answer 6

Pitch up because tail is an upside down airfoil

Question 7

Frost effects

Answer 7

Frost does not change aerodynamic flow of the wing but does cause roughness of surface and spoils smooth flow of air causing slowing of airfoil, slowing of the air causes early air flow separation over airfoil resulting in loss of lift this increases stall speed, small amount of frost can stop aircraft from taking off at normal takeoff speed

Question 8

FAA rule on ice/frost on wings

Answer 8

Wing must be completely clear of containment’s prior to flight

Question 9

Radar Summary Chart

Answer 9

Depicts precipitation type, intensity, coverage, movement, echoes, and max tops. Issued hourly

Question 10

Low level significant weather chart

Answer 10

Forecasts significant weather conditions for 12 and 24 period from SFC to 24,000 MSL. Issued 4 times a day. Depicts (IFR, MVFR, VFR) turbulence and freezing levels
