Icing puts fear in the heart of every pilot. Structural icing can bring down any aircraft of any size. Dr. Seckler will teach us of the ways of icing: 1) the aerodynamic effects, 2) conditions for structural icing to occur, 3) preflight tools available to the pilot to help in deciding whether icing will be an issue (AirMETS, CIP, FIP, etc., and 4) what to do should icing be encountered (escape strategies).
