Pretty simple stuff. Any mass of ice forming...

Pretty simple stuff.
Any mass of ice forming in the high-level cruise and adhering to a surface would, in a gradually warming environment of a descent, firstly become dislodged,move with the flow...

The theory I prefer for BA038 is related to the long-term cold-soak.

Forget the fuel having "frozen". Think moreso the cavitation damage to the fuel-pumps (and their restricted throughput/fuel...
