Ice that accumulates on aircraft while flight has been the cause
of several major airline accidents. Many smaller aircraft are
lost each year to in-flight icing. To help pilots learn to
make better decisions about in-flight icing, ASRP staff worked
together with icing experts at NASA Glenn Research Center, human
factors researchers at NASA Ames Research Center, and weather
experts at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the
Federal Aviation Administration to build on-line training programs
focused on aircraft icing. These programs are available for
use free-of-charge at: http://aircrafticing.grc.nasa.gov/courses.html |
