Using the loss of a friend as a lesson to enhance safe flying is such a noble thing. my condolences bro

[@EvanLuft]

Thank you :) just want to pass what I learn onward. It is sad and scary to see pilots of more experience than me fall victim to these sorts of things.

[@GOONSQUAD-fr]

Thanks for this message bro… I really want to be a pilot when I grow up and I didn’t know this Also I’m praying for you and your friends family

Idk how you feel about knowing this, but that's basically all that aviation is.

[@ErectkyleDysfunction]

@@ItachiUchiha-re6fx You're entitled to your opinion; even if it's unnecessary, disrespectful and inconsiderate.

[@arthasmenethil9957]

I'm a pilot, and it is a VERY clear regulation. If you are not equipped for flying in icing conditions, you cannot fly into known icing. And some planes with de-icing equipment are STILL not allowed to fly into known icing. And if you encounter icing accidentally, there are procedures to follow. Not downplaying your friends death, just emphasizing that rule and procedures are there for a reason. It's no exaggeration to say that most regulations are written in blood.

[@RandyMarsh-nu6lo]

I’m a pilot too. And I was trying to wrap my head around how “he just learned this.” There’s no way. You have to know the three types of ice and their hazards before you ever take your private checkride. I think he just lied to make it sound better and get more views.

[@Alex-bl8uh]

Thanks I wondered how this could not be known. I hope it's a lie. Otherwise I am scared.

[@leloelela]

​@@RandyMarsh-nu6loAgreed. Ice is covered in ground school (albeit carb icing is covered much more thoroughly).

[@MrMagicBannana]

That depends on the severity of icing conditions, some airframes can fly through light icing and while moderate and severe you have to hold outside of. Still not a good idea to fly into known icing conditions

[@Gainsforlife]

[@sumcarson]

You might feel like you're in an emergency, but really all that's happening is you're at risk of an early stall. Don't panick, keep climbing and talk to ATC if you have radar services to make sure you can descend. If you're flying VFR w/o radar services, just lower your altitude and level off. Doesn't have to be a big deal if you know what to do and are aware

[@TheFormerTeam]

​@@sumcarson Being at risk of an early stall is not something to take lightly. And it's not "feeling like being in an emergency" it's actually being in one... There's zero panic in that, just a fact of reality. For example in the aircraft I fly (PA28-181) it is approved for: (a) Day V.F.R. (b) Night V.F.R. (c) Day I.F.R. (d) Night I.F.R. (e) Non icing. If the flight condition I wish to fly in is absent from that list I am not permitted to fly in it. Making that flight condition hazardous and unapproved. If you are a pilot then please remember that the rules are made for a reason and you are not invulnerable, accidents can happen to you too.

[@TheFormerTeam]

@@jittybugbug Anti-authority: Follow the rules. They are usually right. Impulsivity: Not so fast. Think first. Invulnerability: It could happen to me. Macho: Taking chances is foolish. Resignation: "I’m not helpless. I can make a difference.

[@salehothman5771]

There are 3 types of icing (1) the first one is known as rime ice ,this type forms in stratus clouds ,in a temperature between -10 to -20 C ,And it forms faster than clear ice and also it shatters with ease. (2)the second type is clear ice, and this ice forms in cumulus clouds in a temperature between 0 to -10 C, and this type is so dangerous compared to rime ice, because it is hard to get rid of it as well as it covers an extensive area on the wing ,and it forms slower than the rime ice. (3) the third one is Mix ice ,and which is the combination of rime ice and clear ice.

[@EvanLuft]

Thanks so much for posting this! :) :)

You forgot the hoar frost, that also forms and shatters easy. This forms when a supercooled fuselage rams into an array of supercooled water droplets that freeze and form frost on the control surfaces, making them harder to operate

[@extremelyfast3727]

[@sigmundaltorus8981]

Main reason why iceing is so leathal for those wondering, ice on the wing changes the aerodynamic profile of the wing, not to mention it also adds a ton of weight (especially on bigger planes, water is heavy) changing the aerodynamic profile of the wings can increase drag (though this is rare) and almost always lowers lift, this leads to increased stall speeds, sometimes to where its impossible to land safely, sometimes where its impossible to fly at all.

[@thecasualfly]

Sorry for your loss... But sharing that experience with aspiring pilots can go a long way and maybe save someone else's life.

[@KayoMichiels]

ice on a plane does 3: it messes with the airflow on the wings and control surfaces so it generates less lift, makes the plane heavier and it can shift the centre of mass around.

[@MrCoolguy425]

Icing as many others and by many’s experience is extremely dangerous. In learning to fly in alaska I have taken one thing to heart: If you are having doubts about weather conditions, don’t go.

[@Spoon_Of_Wisdom]

[@guilhermerosa955]

Wow, as a beginner into the aviation world, I thought you couldn't fly nowadays without an anti-ice system. Very sorry for your loss.

[@LaCroixBoyz]

He says the most dark thing and finishes it with happy flying

[@Fidd88-mc4sz]

Icing can typically occur when super-cooled water droplets - that's water still in liquid-form but below freezing - his the leading edge and props. This forms ice near instantly, but worse it also starts to accrete on the wing surfaces aft of the leading edge. This form of ice-accretion is especially dangerous as de-icing boots will fail to shift it, it adds considerable weight and greatly reduces lift. It can also block air-intakes, cause flutter on control-surfaces, and will not readily melt or fall off with reduced height. It also accretes VERY fast.

[@FateIsntHere]

That's why it's good to equip deicing on aircraft so it won't get iced

[@Sevo-]

Im in school for AME , but i work as a tech replacing the leading edge de-ice boots on Q400's. Hes 100% correct it is extremely dangerous without proper de-ice equipment. De-icing is one of the most important parts of air safety. I'm very sorry for your loss. Hope the holidays deliver a bit of joy!

I was genuinely shocked how little ice it takes to bring down a caravan!

Ice on the wing disturbs the smooth airflow and can cause a stall. That’s why some planes have bladders that expands to break the ice

[@ad._y._y]

the only problem is that planes have a special coating equipped on them that will NOT let snow/ice build up. Especially in bigger planes ICING will NOT be a problem. Usually ice forms on SMALLER airplanes maintained by private owners or bad company's. Also before planes are sold, in manufacturing the special coating is applied. Again in bigger airports you can REQUEST de icing depending on the coldness. Fun fact: Planes are safer then cars, ships and other types of transport.

[@jords844]

I am not a pilot but am semi interested in planes, but I thought that most planes would have a heating system that runs through the wings to help warm up the skin to melt ice? Maybe a coolant path that takes the hot coolant from the back of the block and runs it around the leading edge of the wing?

[@HydriegonGX]

Sorry for your loss man he will not be forgotten forever and just wondering what type of plane is that but my condolences

[@jordanfischler00]

Ill put this into perspective, this applies to helicopters so i cant say planes as much. NATOPS for an aircraft i work with iirc ways you got 50 seconds from when the air vehicle starts icing to drop altitude and get clear of the icing or the air vehicle will crash.

[@ingefriedbianca]
