To Everyone
Thanks for everyones input so far.
As I started this thread I was unsure of many things, and am learning all the time.
In flight below -10 C OAT airframe icing does not occur, is this correct or is at a fixed wing thing?
In the RFM the heli I fly is cleared for flight in blowing and falling snow,(providing the particle seperator is fitted)
but has no temp ranges.But is not cleared for flight in known icing.So is flying in snow below 0 C greater than3000m vis correct/incorrect.
I am a little confused at to what constitutes icing conditions.Does snow below zero C but greater than 1000m vis constitute icing conditions (just curious not thinking of flying in it)
