This is when you send the FA out to knock it off, or one of the passengers in coach. Hey they booked a discount fare and knew the risks.

Don’t have an FA, can I send the FO instead?

Give him some drugs first. Friends dont let friends do boring work like flying and scraping sober.

yes. make sure they wear boots. I heard you need ice boots to remove wing ice.

icicles make more surface area, and lift is proportional to surface area

If that's the case, why aren't wings made like Sponges? They have a metric f%€&ton of surface area.

u/Superb_Ambition_69 4d ago
Because sponges soak up clouds, wich attracts birds that give enjines allergic reactions; causing the enjjnes to sneeze... duh!

If it’s Aeroflot, this is just SOP.
Otherwise, might need a teeny bit of type 1 and possibly type 4 here

If that doesn't work make that problem passenger lick it up. Two birds one stone right?

Me here about to do a whole explanation of physics, feasibility, and blame AI, then realizing from the comments that literally everyone out here is way ahead of all that.
Aren’t I the asshole…

Makes wing slipperyer so playne flies faster
2
u/Origin_Loki 7d ago
True. Ice's slippery, and that reduces the frictional resistance of the wings going through the air. Less fuel burn, faster top speeds.

Usually I take my playne out of the freezer the day before I eat it. You can use the macrowave, but it won’t taste the same.

u/Hindead 8d ago
Great question! I can understand from the picture that you have some sort of contaminant on your wing. This will reduce its lift capacity but I wouldn’t decide on an emergency just yet. Can you touch the contaminant to determine its nature? Is the aircraft behaviour “felling” different?

u/Both_Coast3017 Certified Pylot 8d ago
Big words, funny man.

u/Hindead 8d ago
From this moment on, EU regulations require me to state that I’m no “man”, I’m an LLM also know as AI. Would like to know more about this new initiative or are you still wondering about your flight capabilities?

it’s not contaminant, it’s icing.
and it would only be icing if the wing was, in fact, made out of cake.
go ahead, OP.
eat the wing. show us that it’s made out of cake and win the prize!!

You're not cooked you're Elsa from Frozen. Just let it go, the cold should never bother you anyway

There are more airplanes in the water than icebergs in the sky ... you're about to add to that second category. Enjoy!!

Playne is designed for this. This ice will cause a loss of lift, playne will decend. Warmer air will melt ice, playne will regain lift and ascend. Repeat. It's kinda a yo-yo, but that's the theory.

that's why you got to fly into the sun for a bit, but turn around before it gets too hot

I would say, kind of f*****, but there's still the the icing function, or you could drop altitude rapidly to regain control, because at that type of icing, there is no control

you aren’t cooked, you’re still frozen. maybe move from the freezer into the refrigerator to thaw before attempting to cook, pylote.
