The worst ice I ever got into was one night near Pelee Island when a
controller insisted that I had to climb from 4000 and in the clear, to 8000 and in the clouds, with the icing level around 6500... I lasted about 3 minutes after reaching 8000 and after she flatly refused to allow me to go lower, I declared an emergency and descended off the airway to melt the ice... The Great Lakes ice machine will bite you if you are not wary... denny "Brien K. Meehan" wrote in message om... One of the local Detroit stations, WDIV, had extensive coverage of this story as it was unfolding.

Some more info on the crash...Supposedly the mayor of the island overheard
oe of the passenger's concerns about possible icing before the flight too off. The pilot (once again, supposedly) said it was still OK to go. "Marc Lattoni" wrote in message news:hCnOb.28353$Eq.26059@clgrps12... http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/01/17/plane_erie_040117

Icing is a real killer. It would be unfortunate if that turns out to
be the cause of the accident. It is also valid reason for anyone to say NO to getting on a plane if they have concerns. So what if you are delayed a day or more.

It's fine to discuss icing, which is a real problem in the Great Lakes, as
long as we keep it in perspective that the engine/prop/controls may have failed in this particular crash.... denny "Steve" wrote in message .. .
