Hi,
Clandestino:
Big chunk of my flying is done through clouds made of ice crystals and I have never had my pitots frozen. Not every ice crystal will stick to your probes or compressors and ideas when and where can we encounter the dangerous type are currently extremely vague. If we were to avoid every CB plume in the sky, soon we'd measure our deviations in hundreds of miles and schedules would become a joke.
So certainly with the insight of the AF447 accident you must think that the pilots were in very bad luck for have the
3 Pitot tubes frozen dead ..
If we were to avoid every CB plume in the sky, soon we'd measure our deviations in hundreds of miles and schedules would become a joke.
And also with the insight of AF447 accident .. you must think that if they avoided the CB plume by hundred miles .. the schedule was a joke .. but the passenggers and crew will be alive today .. commenting about their delay at arrival .....
