Icing charts are vitally important to any pilot.
They give information about freezing points at different altitudes depending on weather and moisture conditions at any given time. They are usually used more by experienced pilots who fly at higher altitudes, but they can be a lifesaver, especially on smaller aircraft.
Larger aircraft have a vast array of precautions to combat ice at high altitudes as the dangers are immense if the conditions are not combatted. Generally, larger aircraft will have heating wings to stop ice from forming, but lighter aircraft have air pockets designed to burst if ice forms around its surface.
RocketRoute again comes up trumps; Icing Charts are available using our software for anyone flying around Europe, so if you are planning a flight, be sure to check the icing charts on your mobile device using our software.
Combining Icing Charts with all the other features and support that can be found on RocketRoute you can plan everything needed for your flight, your journey and your trip after landing.
