High Ice ( in thin cloud ? )

Lucky Coward,
Arent those pitots heated ?

......Was that stuff about high engine ice in strange forms by Prof/Doctor Viellette, (Aviation Week last year) promulgated to all working Aircrew?
.......It seems essential information to me, and should have been shown up in this BA 777 thread at the very beginning by one of you current Captains.

.......I had a reliable report last month of CB up to 80,000 ft in USA . ......... I have seen thin anvil stuff 100 miles ahead of an actual CB-and got iced up pitots at 40,000
(pitot heat working, 3 aircraft lost ASI)
