CRJ Series Icing Concerns and Studys

[Poahi]

I've seen plenty of ice on the vert. and horiz. stabilizers. Supposedly, it’s not that ice will accrete, it’s that it won’t exceed a point that would create a safety hazard. Anyone know what that point is?

Nope, not a single worry about icing on the ATR...

I was on the ERJ-135 out of TOL and the engines were icing up. It was fun watching it shed into the engine after the crew turn on the anti-ice!

I've seen plenty of ice on the tail of a CRJ200. I have also flown MU300/BE400's with normal and emergency tail anti-ice/deice. It was so important to keep ice off the tail, that it had an emergency de-ice.

You mean you didn't want to fly a tail-stalled lawn dart when you called for flaps 30?

It does accumulate ice during slower airspeeds in extended icing conditions. I believe this happened with a Skywest crew. Missed approach while flying in icing for a long time. Came back around while staying IFR and had no elevator authority during the flare. That's the scenerio that will get you in trouble. Refer to the QRH for ice removal.

That's another reason why I hate the beech jet/ diamond.

They'll let you experience at the flight safety in ICT. It's enough to make you remember to pay attention.

Name the jets that have ice protection on the tail? not being a smarty just curious.

Lockheed C-141

DC-9's, -10 through -80's

717 also

The thing was built by the Canadians, the one thing it does well is fly in the winter. Wait unless its too cold then the flaps fail and we get to land at 170 somthing kias.
