Thanks for the support guys.
I'd really like some input on my earlier question, what constitutes icing conditions? (to satisfy the RFM and lawyers)
Besides the obvious freezing precip, is it any cloud below zero or when icing is forecast or only when you actually pick up ice?
I know from experience two guys flying a few minutes apart, same altitude, same route, one can pick up ice and one won't. It's incidious stuff and waiting till you pick it up to turn around may be abit late in the game as it may have moved in behind you. Personally, I'd prefer to avoid tempting fate.
I've heard in the North Sea that its accepted as long as there is a solid "out", like 1000 foot ceilings and above freezing temps below???
If you are flying in cloud below zero, and you pick up ice, is it still considered "inadvertent"?
