ICE
ADVICE™ provides the pilot a handy reference for
avoiding, detecting and escaping icing conditions...one of the top concerns
of general aviation instruments pilots. The front section has easy steps
to follow for the pre-flight phase during which the pilot will gather information
on enroute icing potentials, plan his/her route to avoid risky courses
and/or altitudes, plan an escape route with appropriate performance and
fuel margins and, finally, prepare the plane for departure. This side also
has a table to help the pilot determine and mitigate icing risks for various
cloud types and periodically assess his/her relative risk using this table.
The back side covers the enroute phase and his advice on how to protect
the aircraft from icing using the aircraft's onboard equipment. This side
also includes advice on how to detect ice accretion and its effect on controls
and how to escape icing conditions and cope with the performance effects.
In particular, there is a table that helps the pilot recognize and respond
to an ice-caused wing stall versus a tail stall. There is a big difference
and knowing it will help ensure a successful recovery. The last chart on
this side will assist the pilot in estimating the temperature change for
a given altitude change. The table employs two different lapse rates to
account for the portions of the altitude change that are expected to occur
in clear air versus clouds. This chart, when employed with the icing risk
chart on the front side, can help the pilot decide an altitude change that
will lower the icing risk. ICE ADVICE™ is laminated in a durable
10 mil, satin matte finish, and is 8.0" x 5.5"
