I'm not a helicopter pilot and not familiar with the 109.
Would anyone care to enlighten us as to the effect of icing on the 109's engines and rotors of the rapid ice accretion likely to be encountered in FZFG.
A thorough check of the fan blades and warm air de-icing is normal for those of us fixed wing aviators after FZFG encounters.
Might he have had problems maintaining altitude, were he to have been so affected?
