I suppose hindsight is 20/20, but her comments of "I just dropped at
2000 feet per minute with uncommnaded rolls.... I have no idea what

make much sense to me.

If a plane did that and I didn't have any idea why, I'd lean towards
getting it on the ground ASAP.

I suppose at some point, she must have realized that the ice was
coming off...

It's not clear that she ever even thinks about ice;

You must have an amazing talent to know what someone might be "thinking"
about.


I don't recall her
ever mentioning it. Only ATC talks about that.

So what? If I picked up some ice, I'm not sure I would be talking about it
either.
