For example tomorrow I would fly from EBAW to LFPN but I'm really stuck with the decision because of icing or not. Depends if the cloud tops are above or below FL100...
I am flying an SR22 with TKS de icing which is not FIKI. It works but is not FIKI.
Can anyone help me? I need to know whether it's clear air above FL60 or not.
Kind regards
Perhaps look at the Skew-T log-P for points along your intended route of flight? It will show you forecasted temp/DP convergence at altitude. Emphasis on the word forecasted.
