Supercooled Water - More on Icing

Gotta wonder why the AWC icing page in ADDS offers the user to choose
between a graphic display of "all icing" and of "SLD icing" if Supercooled
Liquid Droplets are not a hazard. The Roselawn accident (ATR-72, if I recall
correctly), was attributed, in part, to SLD icing.

You still have it partly backwards on droplet size.

Let me provide you with a more probabilistic view of the data you are
relying on, being "observed". Now in fact FAA funded a study of icing
from
large droplets, as that was the "observed phenomena". Consider an
experiment where 50 pilots encounter large droplet icing and 50 pilots
encounter small droplet icing. At the end of the experiment, the group
with
"observed" large droplet reports 49 incidents, while the small droplet
"observed" group has only 5 advocates.
