poor WX radar technique?
does not look so much like a technical problem of any engine / airframe combination but rather like some CB avoidance techniques have been lost....
I mean if the SAT changes for 30° C , then you are in an updraft just way too close above a CB...right?
anything can happen there....engines & pitots may ice up....you may experience compressor stalls ( without any ice) and a gross jet upset...
my theory since quite a time on these "ice crystal" engine things is, that flight crews, for whatever reasons, do not seem as conservative in lateral and vertical CB avoidance anymore....
