Aircraft Ground and In-Flight Icing On-line courses
available from NASA Notice Number: NOTC0651

The FAASTeam would like to let the pilot community know
that. The free, on-line course "A Pilot's Guide to Ground
Icing" has been updated for all pilots - from general
aviation to professional business, corporate and freight
pilots, and even to the large transport pilot. The layered
presentation allows users to access information relevant to
their particular operation.
http://aircrafticing.grc.nasa.gov/courses.html
The course was built by NASA, U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration, Transport Canada, U.K. Civil Aviation
Authority, Flight Options, LCC, WestJet, Inc., Canadian
Armed Forces, Leading Edge Deicing Specialists LTD, Hoffman
Pilot Center, Inc., Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and
AOPA Air Safety Foundation.

"A Pilot's Guide to In-Flight Icing" a free course primarily
intended for the general aviation pilot who flies aircraft
certified for flight in icing, although much of the
information is applicable to all pilots. With an operational
focus, this course provides tools pilots can use to deal
with in-flight icing. For more information about these
on-line courses go to the URL listed above and use the
available email address information at the bottom of their
screen. Safety is a learned behavior...

Too late for the latest Cirrus crash. I wonder why the pilot didn't
deploy the chute. I would think the chute could be deployed in event
of icing, since that doesn't happen instantaneously.....

Brains and proper training beat equipment almost any day.
