Army Aircraft Icing
83
51. Usually don't plan to fly in any known icing conditions. Have experi-
enced one UH60 that had damaged TR paddle from shedding ice. Once while
flying UH60, experienced light icing conditions and MR/TR deicing worked.
52. Icing on UH-1 rotor while flying over water (Greece).
53. Substantial experience--both Army RW and FW, also civilian and
commercial aviation.
56. I have had very little experience with icing as I generally avoid it. I have
had a few crews in my company that have told me some "close call" incidents
when they experienced greater than forecast icing. The greater our ability is to
accurately forecast and be warned of icing conditions, the safer and more
effective we will be.
57. Very little.
58. Flown up here IMC [instrument meteorological conditions]; IFR
[instrument flight rules], and VMC [visual meteorological conditions] and have
seen the effects of "LT Rime" ice quickly build up.
59. Our a/c are hangared everyday, so the impact of icing on our a/c is not all
that great. However, having been assigned to units that have had icing problems,
I feel there is a great impact to the mission.
60. Many flights in low icing, some in moderate.
