Free on-line icing guide

NASA has unveiled a free on-line course titled A Pilot’s Guide to In-Flight Icing.

Although intended for the general aviation pilot who flies aircraft certified for flight in icing much of the information is applicable to all pilots. Emphasis is on avoidance, detection and exit, as well as the effects of ice accretion on performance and handling and the particular hazard of Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) icing.
This self-guided training aid contains imagery captured on NASA Icing Research flights, animation, pilot testimonials, case studies, and interactive demonstrators.

To view the course, you must have Flash Player 6 or higher and a Javascript-enabled browser. Users should also disable pop-up blocking software while using the course.
