Nasa Icing courses

Pete,
My post is in reference to several points that you made below.

Regarding thread hijacking, I don't have problems with thread
branching out to other topics. Using google, at least the branch was
labeled Engine making metal. It is not the same as branching or
hijacking to non-aviation related discussions on politics and
religions.

I think I have sufficiently expressed my opinion on cross postings
and off-topic subject and do not wish to engage in any further
discussions here to conserve bandwidth.

================================================== =========================

Weather is taught to VFR primary students, why not icing?



Because they have enough to learn already?

Seriously though, a primary student's knowledge of icing need not
extend
much further than "don't fly when freezing rain is forecast". For
extra
credit, a short discussion of what causes freezing rain might be called
for.


Most icing occurs inside a cloud, and VFR pilots should not have to
worry
about that, or anything else that might happen inside a cloud.


But more importantly (and more to the point) the r.a.student newsgroup
is
more about the process of learning to fly, and especially as it applies
to
primary students
.....
