Default Icing in the scan...

Seeing several recent posts on icing situations, I was struck with a
curiosity of how much a part of watching for ice accumulation becomes a
part of your scan, for those of you who have flown into potential icing
conditions.


My two cents worth: I've had only two icing encounters. Both times it came on
rather suddenly and wasn't anything I had been "scanning" for. Perhaps that says
more about my scan than the nature of icing...

Ice accumulation can happen very fast depending on the degree of severity,
which underscores the importance of scanning for it very frequently.

Especially in CU clouds. You have moisture that is coming down the CU
elevator from much colder temps. It hits your airplane and freezes very
quickly if the temp of your wing allows. Someone once proposed making
the wing out of the same stuff that ice cube trays are made of. What
ever happened to that?
