Implies severe or greater turbulence, severe icing and low-level wind shear. May be issued for any convective situation which the forecaster feels is hazardous to all categories of aircraft.
Possible Convective SIGMETS:
a) Severe Thunderstorm due to:
-surface winds greater than or equal to 50 knots.
-hail greater than 3/4 an inch.
-tornadoes.
b) Embedded Thunderstorms
c) A line of thunderstorms

SIGMET

Back 61

Advises of non-convective wx that is potentially hazardous to all aircraft. Max forecast period is four hours. Examples of this could be:
a) Severe Icing not associated with a thunderstorm

Back 65

a) A source of lift. (heating, fast-moving front)
b) Unstable Air (non standard lapse rate)
c) High moisture content (temp/dew point close)

Front 66

Three Types of Structural Icing

Back 66

1) Clear Ice-forms after initial impact when the remaining liquid portion of the drop flows out over the aircraft surface, gradually freezing as a smooth sheet of solid ice.

2) Rime Ice-forms when drops are small, such as those in stratified clouds or light drizzle. The liquid portion remaining after initial impact freezes rapidly before the drop has time to spread out over the aircraft surface.

3) Mixed Ice-forms when drops vary in size or when liquid drops are intermingled with snow or ice particles. The ice particles become imbedded in clear ice, building very rough accumulation.

Front 67

Whats the worst kind of icing?

Back 67

Clear Ice, it can get in all the little parts of the plain weighing it down a lot.

Front 68

Main Type of Icing

Back 68

1) Structural

2) Induction System

3) Instrument Icing

Front 69

Is frost hazardous to flight?

Back 69

Yes b/c although it doesn't change the basic aerodynamic shape of of the wing, the roughness of the surface spoils the airflow over the wings reducing in a loss of lift which could result in the airplane not becoming airborne at normal take off speeds.
