Arrow Turbo III can’t take off in winter

@superkaro2014 Well...I just checked this again. Both the 152 and that new NX Cub? had structural icing. Checked the Piper again.... now its there. :face_with_rolling_eyes:

@weptburrito Wonderful work Sherlock 😂
It’s consistently inconsistent - a conspiracy no doubt! -
So what happens IRL when temps are low and there is airframe icing on the ground?
I think you get grounded. Right?

@gruizmd
Nah I'm pretty sure you park your plane under the wing of an airliner that's just about to depart and hope when they get sprayed down with deicing fluid some drips onto your plane too, then you hope for the best as you take off into a blizzard :P -
Here is structural icing on the Warrior II...

OAT -5 C
Field elev: 1820’ Above MSL
Density altitude: 2600’There seems to be an error in the calculation. How could you get that high density altitude with minus(!) 5C?
-
@walterbeech Additionl information is needed to calculate the actual Density Altitude...

An observation only... and really nitpicking.
Just noticed: When a plane is static on the ground, the location of the structural icing would be all over? The model actually seems to replicate a scenario for a plane moving forwards.

True, but one can make a guess. Dew point doesn't affect it as much as temperature and pressure. And to get similar numbers I had to enter 27.60 in Hg. Not unrealistic, of course, but fairly low. -
@superkaro2014 I guess accurately modeling where every snowflake lands would be bit of an FPS hit :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
I'm just glad to get some sort of indication. I suspect Asobo have other more pressing issues to address.
