This video was mentioned on backcountrypilot.org. I figured I understood
tailplane icing, etc. But watching the video was an eye-opener. This
also very much applies to pilots who don't plan on flying in icing
conditions. A failed gap seal on a glider comes to mind as well.

Thanks for posting that. A real eye-opener. I haven't previously seen
photos of in-flight ice buildup and so never realised that it grows
outward inside the LE suction spike. A very nasty sight.
