If you wait just a little, the legal definition will change again and
the hapless pilot will still be shafted and left bankrupt trying to
defend against the FAA steamroller legal section.
While I am pleased to see some really good input from the practical
standpoints, I'd hate to see it change into a legal discussion and
forget the original intent was ice and how to cope with it.
I've written at least a half dozen published articles on ice in general
aviation and so far they have withstood the test of time. As anyone
knows though, longevity lends credence to nearly any stated position if
its restated enough!?
Best Regards and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year
