I am still having problems.
How come a highly experienced pilot flies through a very well predicted snow storm, in a single, at night, over water. (we got the same front a few hrs later reaching the Belgium coast)
At 5000ft? In the middle of the predicted and actual icing zone.
While he can climb to safety with power and options to spare?
And on top of that? ? ?
Asks for a lower altitude?
With an undercooled and certainly partially iced over airframe going through predicted and actual snow?
I have done stupid things in my life, but this one is a hard one.
