Airframe icing is caused by supercooled water droplets icing on the parts most exposed to the relative wind.
This phenomenon is very present between -15°C and 0°C, and is all the more present the larger the drops are.
Below -30°C, there are only ice crystals which are not dangerous because they do not stick.
The most sensitive parts of the Aircraft - 20230125033243 (windshield, leading edges, antenna, air inlets, Pitot Tube) are equipped with systems to break or prevent icing.
Avoid passing near frontal surfaces, as rain is supercooled there and the passage of an Aircraft - 20230125033243 can cause icing.
It is also important to avoid passing above the 0°C isotherm, and to be aware of the Clouds at risk and their thickness.
In general, passenger aircraft are not suitable for flying in such conditions.
However, even an aircraft that is equipped with them may not be able to fly in these conditions because it must be able to maintain performance even if the icing protection systems fail.
