"If the
composite information indicates
to a reasonable and
prudent pilot that he or she will encounter visible moisture
at freezing or near freezing
temperatures and that ice will adhere to the
aircraft along the proposed route and
altitude of flight,
then known icing conditions
likely
exist."
In other words,
in addition to there being the potential for icing (moisture and freezing
temperatures) the pilot needs to determine that ice will adhere to the
aircraft.
How should a
reasonable and prudent pilot determine "that ice will adhere to the
aircraft"? Pilot reports? Forecasts of
icing?
It seems to me
that this allows for a lot of retrospective second guessing on the part of the
FAA.
