An international working group (led by the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC), tasked by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), USA) worked between 1997 and 2009 to prepare recommendations for a regulation change. (...)

The proposed rule would require consideration of the SLD icing conditions (freezing drizzle and freezing rain) defined in the proposed new CS-25 Appendix O, part I, in addition to the existing CS-25 Appendix C icing conditions. The proposed Appendix O was developed by the ARAC IPHWG, which included meteorologists and icing research specialists from industry, FAA/FAA Tech Center, Meteorological Services Canada, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Transport Canada/Transport Development Center. The IPHWG collected and analysed airborne measurements of pertinent SLD variables and developed an engineering standard to be used in aircraft certification.
