| 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.

| "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.....
