An Icy Commute

Cool... are you also a CFI?

No, I do not want the liability.

Had one run in w/ freezing rain. I have a new plane and a story to go with
it.

After descending thru a 2,000 ft cloud layer with light rime, we turned
final for the SDF approach and entered the hardest rain I'd experienced. We
could not stop the decent at the DH after only 3 1/2 minutes. It was
freezing rain.

The safety sheets all say "unless it is freezing rain, no reason to panic,
just do something about it. etc etc." Another says freezing rain can be
measured in inches per minute. I believe them

Glad you're okay.

Thx, {|;-)

Well this evening I had an interesting commute home. I flew into freezing
rain.

Once I landed and pulled up to the hangar I check the airframe. It still
had a little ice on it.

Now that was an interesting commute.
