Icing Photos
 

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has captured any photo's of helo's with ice accumulated on them. I have several but need a few more for a project I am working on. Any type or quality would be great.

Air Methods in Englewood, Colorado used to have a real doozy...Nebraska based Bell 222...night flight...very dark part of the country....encountered a bit of ice....like several inches of it all over the aircraft....heart stopping photo actually. I think the pilot concerned is still there as a Training Captain...Company Check Airman.

Not exactly accumulated ice - but how do you test for helicopter icing ?

Sikorsky S-92 Icing Tanker Tests

Mik, if you go to p20 on Gallery there are a few on there . Ihave a lot more but my scanner is knackered........Syc

The National Research Council of Canada did extensive testing of helicopter icing using an ice generator (or whatever it was called).
You might try contacting them - try Google.

I have a couple pics.

bb in ca, what are the types in the pics, and where did you get the third one from?

Hey sycamore,

Sorry, I guess I could have described them better.

The first one is a Eurocopter AS-350B on the ramp one chilly morning not long ago.

The second one I believe is Cougar Helicopters Super Puma from the East Coast of Canada.

The third one I don't know much about but when I found it the description said it was a Gazelle.

Best Regards,
