Icing Flashcards
Ice formation reduces
Lift
Ice formation creates
Parasite drag ( skin friction tb more precise)
Ice formation …
Increases stall speed of aircraft and reduces stability
Ice formation
Leads to control jam!
Supercooled water droplets don’t freeze
Because of the absence of freezing nuclei
Small droplets form into
Rime ice
Large droplets lead into
Clear / glaze ice
Hoar frost can
Develop without the formation of clouds
Mixed icing is most likely encountered when flying
In NS cloud between -9&-14 degrees Celsius
Mixed ice is found in
NS AT TEMPS BETWEEN -9&14 degrees
Most hazardous form of ppct with a warm front
Is freezing rain
The thing that causes large water droplets to spread
Is the release of latent heat
The flour with a greater ratio or SCWD:Ice crystals is
Stratus
Clear ice formation conditions
0- -15 degrees
