It’s definitely that time of year again when you’re likely to encounter in-flight icing. Check out this email newsletter by PilotWorkshops.com below for the link to a short refresher video. Pay particular attention to the tip about using the autopilot in icing and why you should be extra vigilant when doing so.

With the cold weather in full swing I thought it
would be valuable to share a workshop we
produced about icing.
This is a video workshop we recorded with Bob
Nardiello that provides tactics for dealing with
unexpected icing encounters.
Topics include assessing your options, different
types of icing and cloud formations, use of
autopilot and tips for making an approach and
landing with ice on the airframe.
