Free online icing course

Want to know more about aircraft icing, both on the ground and in flight? Switch on your computer (er.. okay, if you are reading this then you’ve done that already) and click on <a href=’http://aircrafticing.grc.nasa.gov/courses.html’ target=’_blank’>this link</a>. The course was prepared and developed by NASA along with a team of ‘international aviation experts’ including, we’re told, someone from our very own CAA. The course, first launched in 2005 has been recently updated.

Captain David Prior, who leads the CAA’s Ice Aware project, said: “Ground icing accidents are often preventable, and by providing pilots with the online training course we hope to improve the safety of their flights. The new additions to the site make it even more relevant to every pilot – regardless of their flying experience.”
