Sac & Story county IA | Ice bulidup on an airplane is bad news. It can be smooth ice that adds weight or rough ice that makes the wings and body not slide through the air. Both are bad. Wing design has a lot to do with weight carrying ability vs speed. Look at a C130 compared to the Lear jet. C130 will carry way more weight but lot slower. I am only a blue sky pilot so I would never get close to a storm like that. Old doctor near here that did flying physicals said he liked to do farmers. They knew the sound of a machine and what the weather could do to them. That is so far removed from thee world of Lear jets. | |
