Title:
Do Not Let Winter Bring You Down
Topic:
Managing the Hazards of Aircraft Icing During All Phases of Aircraft Operations
Date and Time:
Tuesday, December 3, 2019, starting at 19:00 Eastern Standard Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Chris Dumont
Brief Description:

During this 2 hour presentation you will learn about aircraft icing, why it forms on aircraft and what to do about it.  Get ready for winter.  Aircraft icing during flight can be catastrophic.  It disrupts the flow of air over the aircraft diminishing the wing's maximum lift and propellor's thrust thus reducing the angle of attack for maximum lift, which in turn, adversely affects an aircraft's handling characteristics while significantly increasing drag.  Don't miss this exclusive event.  Click on the link below and register TODAY!

Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):

Wind Tunnel and Flight Tests have shown that frost, snow, and ice accumulations on the leading edge or upper surfaces of the wing, no thicker or rougher than a piece of coarse sandpaper can reduce lift by 30% and increase drag up to 40%. Larger accumulations can reduce lift ever more and can increase drag by 80% or more.  Even aircraft equipped for flight into icing conditions are significantly affected by ice accumulation on the unprotected areas.

A NASA study showed that close to 30% of the total drag associated with an ice encounter remained after all the protected surfaces were cleared.  Non protected surfaces may include antennas, flap hinges, fuselage frontal area, windshield wipers,wing struts, fixed landing ger etc.  With the approach of fall and winter, this is a MUST.  Chris Dumont will discuss the formation and development of "ice" in the atmosphere, including the different types of ice formation on the structural surfaces of the aircraft.  In addition, Chris will talk about stalling of both the wing and tail sections of the aircraft.
