If i'm in Ice pellets, i'm not icing up am I.
As an ATPL could you possibly explain what you mean when you made the above quote and how could you possibly justify to anyone initiating a climb from ice pellets into freezing rain at a higher altitude. Surely this is tantamount not only to commiting suicide but also corporate manslaughter at best. Please restore my faith and state you accept ice pellets are icing conditions and represent a severe hazzard to aircraft and also that you would certainly never really initiate a climb out of ice pellets into supecooled liquid that would most certainly strike the aircraft aft of the protected regions and render the aerodynamic properties useless within minutes. Are you really offering this as an exit strategy????????
For those who will take some positives from the post and the link. this is possibly a prime example in question of just how little icing is understood.
