I came up with three kinds: rime, clear, and mixed. Can't think of a fourth. Wonder what the DE was looking for??
Frost ?
I've heard it asked that way before. |

From the gov't weather site:
"ICING TYPES:
Rime Ice: Rough, milky, opaque ice formed by the instantaneous freezing of small supercooled water droplets.
Clear Ice: A glossy, clear, or translucent ice formed by the relatively slow freezing of large supercooled water droplets."
...and...
INTENSITY
ICE ACCUMULATION
Trace - Ice becomes perceptible. Rate of accumulation slightly greater than rate of sublimation. It is not hazardous even though deicing/anti-icing equipment is not utilized, unless encountered for an extended period of time (over 1 hour).
Light - The rate of accumulation may create a problem if flight is prolonged in this environment (over 1 hour). Occasional use of deicing/anti-icing equipment removes/prevents accumulation. It does not present a problem if the deicing/anti-icing equipment is used.
Moderate - The rate of accumulation is such that even sort encounters become potentially hazardous and use of deicing/anti-icing or diversion is necessary.
Severe - The rate of accumulation is such that deicing/anti-icing equipment fails to reduce or control the hazard. Immediate diversion is necessary.
(sorry, I somehow posted turbulence intensities before) |
