Aircraft Icing: Recognition, Risk Assessment and Operational Decision-Making

Recognition, Risk Assessment and Operational Decision-Making

Three critical pillars for safe flight operations in icing conditions

Recognition

Identify the threat through visual cues, weather reports, and aircraft performance indicators

Risk Assessment

Understand the risk by evaluating severity, duration, and potential impact on flight safety

Operational Decision-Making

Choose the safest path through strategic planning, alternative routes, and go/no-go decisions

Know the signs. Assess the risk. Make the right call.
