Status: STD 2005/06/07
Code: 72

Concept definition: The estimated intensity of the accumulation of <ICE> on exposed <SURFACE>s of an <AIRCRAFT> that is formed as the <AIRCRAFT> is flown through supercooled drops of <WATER> in <CLOUD>s and/or <PRECIPITATION>.
 
Attribute value type: ENUMERATION

AIRCRAFT_ICING_INTENSITY LIGHT The rate of accumulation may create a problem if flight is prolonged in this environment (over 1 hour); light. Occasional use of de-icing/anti-icing <EQUIPMENT> removes/prevents accumulation. Icing does not present a problem if the de-icing/anti-icing <EQUIPMENT> is used. 5 IR [AIM, 7-1-22, b, 2] [WMO306, Volume I.2, Part B, Code table 0-20-041:1]

STD
2005/06/07
AIRCRAFT_ICING_INTENSITY MODERATE The rate of accumulation is such that even short encounters become potentially hazardous; moderate. Use of de-icing/anti-icing <EQUIPMENT> and/or flight diversion is necessary. 8 IR [AIM, 7-1-22, b, 3] [WMO306, Volume I.2, Part B, Code table 0-20-041:4]

AIRCRAFT_ICING_INTENSITY SEVERE The rate of accumulation is such that de-icing/anti-icing <EQUIPMENT> fails to reduce or control the hazard; severe. Immediate flight diversion is necessary. 11 IR [AIM, 7-1-22, b, 4] [WMO306, Volume I.2, Part B, Code table 0-20-041:7]

Group membership:

In addition to the status and date information for each entry, a colour coding scheme highlights the database holding to which an entry belongs. The following highlight colours are used:

  • white - the entry is in the standard
  • yellow - the entry has been added to the register
  • pink - the entry has been submitted for inclusion in the register, but it is not approved
  • cyan - a deprecated entry that was originally either in the standard or was added to the register, but has since been deprecated

The following icons are used to identify items that have figures, modifications and/or clarification notes:

  • F n - has Figures and, if more than one figure, n figures
  • M - has Modifications
  • C - has Clarifications
