Frost formation on an aircraft sitting on the ramp at night requires:

- Clear skies -Light surface winds (or calm) - Surface temperature at or below 0o C.

With respect to aircraft icing, temperature:

- Determines how likely the hydrometeors are to be already frozen - Determines how quickly the hydrometeors will freeze

Evidence that the airplane is flying in SLD conditions includes:

- Ice forming aft of the active part of the deicer boots -Ice forming further aft than normal on the propeller spinner - Granular ice crystals or ice rivulets running back on the cockpit side windows

One problem with icing is that there are a nearly limitless variety of ice shapes, thicknesses, and textures. The effects of each of these shapes is to change the airfoil:

- lift - drag - stall angle

Temperature of rime and texture

-10 to -20 C relatively light and easily removed stratiform clouds

One of the factors that may further exacerbate the onset of tail stall due to icing, in aircraft that are susceptible to that phenomenon is:

-A negative g pushover at flap actuation -Flying landing approaches at higher than normal reference speed

Potential icing zones depend on:

-Altitude and temperature - Cloud type - Synoptic situation and season

Supercooled large droplets (SLD) include:

-Freezing rain - Freezing drizzle - SCDD

Holdover times for all types of ground deicing fluids are decreased by:

-Heavy precipitation rates. - High moisture content. - High wind velocity or jet blast.

Accurate icing forecasts are difficult because:

-Icing is a microscale phenomenon - Icing is aircraft specific - Normal data resolution does not allow for measurement of the icing environment

You are flying an airplane that is certified for flight in known icing. You begin to encounter severe icing at 10,000 ft MSL. This operation:

-Is not approved for your aircraft -Should be reported to ATC

Indication(s) that tail stall is occurring is/are:

-Rapid forward movement of the control yoke - Heavy stick forces - Rapid lowering of the pitch attitude

One of the most hazardous icing situations occurs when aircraft encounter supercooled drizzle drops (SCDD). The conditions associated with SCDD include:
