Passed Instrument Checkride!
I think so, he sort of does the oral exam in a conversational way, and
I think I threw that out there while we were talking about it. One of
us might've mentioned the changing of the airfoil's shape, but it's
getting sketchy now...

He asked what was the major problem with ice?
I said the accumulation of the added weight.
He was happy with this? Weight is an issue, but the bigger one is the
change in shape of the airfoil, leading to loss of lift and/or tail
effectiveness. Ice also tends to stay with you even after you exit
icing conditions (unless it gets warm enough for long enough).
