"NWS Weather-Ready Nation FLYERS Icing Webinar"
Topic: Non-Convective Icing
On Thursday, December 19, 2024 at 18:00 Central Standard Time (16:00 PST; 17:00 MST; 19:00 EST; 14:00 HST; 15:00 AKST; 17:00  Arizona; Friday, December 20, 2024 00:00 GMT)


Select Number: CE05133995

Description:
According to data from the NTSB, in-flight icing is a significant contributing factor in many general aviation accidents. Approximately 11% of weather-related general aviation accidents involve icing as a causal factor, resulting in around five fatalities each year. A crucial aspect of preventing icing accidents is a pilot's ability to recognize icing conditions, effectively plan flight routes to avoid these conditions, and take appropriate actions, such as changing altitude or diverting to a safer location.Â
This webinar will explore the weather processes that lead to icing conditions and equip pilots with the knowledge to adjust in-flight altitudes to avoid them. Presenters will also share a real-life icing situation faced by a general aviation pilot who safely reached the ground thanks to the support of ATC and CWSU forecasters. Lastly, participants will learn about various sources of icing information.
