Default Nasa Icing courses

I guess I understand now how you fellows and gals have
time to work on your airplane. Down here in sunny Texas,
it is almost always good flying weather, and given the choice
between flying and tinkering, I always seem to pick flying.

Hey... that little window let me fly home (Wisconsin-Virginia) on New
Year's
Day.... Take what you can get!


Hey, we flew VFR from Iowa City to Janesville, WI (and back) last Sunday.

The last 45 minutes were, um, interesting. The temperature and dew
points began to converge, as the sun began to set, and sky conditions
dropped from 11,000 broken to a very optimistic 1300 overcast -- across a
250 mile wide stretch of terrain -- in about 20 minutes. It was the most
widespread deterioration I've ever seen.

I was glad to be on the ground at the end of that flight. We were still
legal VFR, but visibility was 5 miles or less, and nasty icing was
occurring less than a thousand feet up.

Other than that, we haven't flown diddly squat in weeks. Our last fly-in
guest was sometime around Thanksgiving. Worst flying weather I've ever
seen.
