awesome knowledge!
one thing I always wonder about.. if in IMC, and noticed I'm getting ice quick (i.e. freezing rain), and no deicing equipment - how soon can I start making changes, considering I report the emergency to the ATC? Is it immediately, without waiting for their confirmation, or do I need to wait for them to come back to me?
Thanks for the lesson. It is very helpful. I have learned a lot.
ОтветитьGood stuff here. I picked up some un-forecasted ice on decent to an ILS approach a few weeks ago. It was my first experience with ice and I was surprised at how quickly my windshield iced over with a thin layer. Literally I was on top and as soon as we went into the could layer i instantly had a thin layer of ice over the airplane. Pitot heat and carb heat was already on, cranked up the defrost and increased my decent to punch through quickly. I was only in it for maybe 60 seconds but that was enough to give me a whole new respect for just how quickly ice can accumulate.
ОтветитьHow long does it take for ice to accumulate? Does it happen pretty quickly once you enter a cloud or does it take some time for buildup to happen?
ОтветитьHere in Michigan -- if it's after Labor Day and before Memorial Day, expect icing.
ОтветитьI just did this in Xplane last night….. approach was terminated with an abrupt and unplanned encounter with off airport terrain. What i noticed ahead of time was decreased manifold pressure in addition to increased angle of attack.
ОтветитьYou’re the goat man! Love the videos
ОтветитьI used to fly the fedex caravans and I learned all about icing. We'd use TKS equipped caravans but it was essential to wet the wing before entering.
ОтветитьThanks. Just passed my IR thanks to your videos now the idea of hitting icing makes me pretty nervous. Its the sort of thing I want to experience so i know how to deal with it but without experiencing it.
ОтветитьWhy was this reuploaded
ОтветитьYou're saving lives with this stuff, man. Great work!
ОтветитьAs a new pilot I very much appreciate the helpful hints to understand the new Av Weather website. Keep it up.. Thanks
ОтветитьI prefer ice in my glass, not on my wings 👍.
ОтветитьMaking the airplane “heavier” is a bit of a silly way to think about icing. Is it technically true? Yes. Functionally it’s so negligible. If you throw a couple bags of ice in the back seat of your plane before you took off, is it really going cause the plane to fall out of the sky? Severe icing will really will never add more than 20-30 pounds of ice on a small GA aircraft
ОтветитьGood video. I often fly IFR but avoid icing situations like the plague. I always stay familiar with freezing levels, layers, pireps, etc. I was going to buy a plane with a TKS system, but thought that might make me a bit too bold. There’s nowhere I need to get to that can’t wait.
ОтветитьIf you fly close the ocean level, doesn't the salty air get the ice off?
Ответитьwhat if no clouds but just bone cold?
ОтветитьReally good info! I would like... but there's 747 likes. I can't ruin that.
