NASA Creates Online Icing Training Course

Course provides information for pilots flying aircraft certified to fly in known icing conditions

A Pilot's Guide to In-Flight Icing is a free, on-line course primarily intended for the general aviation pilot who flies aircraft certified for flight in icing, although much of the information is applicable to all pilots. With an operational focus, this course provides tools pilots can use to deal with in-flight icing. Emphasis is on avoidance, detection and exit, as well as the effects of ice accretion on performance and handling and the particular hazard of Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) icing.

This self-guided training aid contains imagery captured on NASA Icing Research flights, animation, pilot testimonials, case studies, and interactive demonstrators. In addition, interactive exercises allow the user to asses his or her operational understanding of the key points presented.

To view the course, you must have Flash Player 6 or higher and a Javascript-enabled browser. Users should also disable pop-up blocking software while using the course.
