|
When you solicit a PIREP you need what four items?
TTAP |
Time Type/call sign Altitude Position
*Include icing type/intensity and air temperature when icing is involved. |
|
|
|
Most hazardous icing conditions are encounters with ________ ______ and ________ ________. |
Freezing rain Freezing drizzle |

|
|
Icing forecasts are heavily dependent on _________. |
PIREPs |

|
|
Structural icing normally occurs between what temperatures? |
+2 and -20 degrees C |
|
|
|
How does structural icing affect an aircraft? |
Increased weight and drag
Decreased thrust and lift |
|
|
|
Three types of structural icing...
What's the most dangerous? |
Clear Rime Mixed
