Title:
Managing the Hazards of Aircraft Icing on Takeoff and Landings!
Topic:
Aircraft Icing; How it can upset an otherwise great landing.
Brief Description:
Icing in flight can be bad! It can distort the flow of air over the wing diminishing the wing's maximum lift, reducing the angle of attack for maximum lift, adversely affecting the handling qualities and significantly increasing drag. Don't miss this very important discussion of aircraft icing and effects, presented by Chris Dumont, from the FAA Technical Center.

Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
Wind Tunnel and Flight Tests have shown that frost, snow, and ice accumulations (on the leading edge or upper surfaces of the wing), no thicker or rougher than a piece of coarse sandpaper can reduce lift by 30% and increase drag up to 40%. Larger accretions can reduce lift even more and can increase drag by 80% or more.
Even aircraft equipped for flight into icing conditions are significantly affected by ice accumulation on the unprotected areas. A NASA study showed that close to 30% of the total drag associated with an ice encounter remained after all the protected surfaces were cleared. Non protected surfaces may include antennas, flap hinges, fuselage frontal area, windshield wipers, wing struts, fixed landing gear etc.
With the approach of fall and winter, this is a MUST attend event. Chris Dumont will discuss the formation and development of "ice" in the atmosphere, the different types of ice formation on the structural surfaces of the aircraft. In addition, he will talk about both wing and tail stalling.
Again, your attendance at this important seminar is vital to your safety!
