Default Passed Instrument Checkride!

Congratulations on your checkride! Now when you have your head in the
clouds, you can bring the airplane too!

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).
