October 24, 20214 yr Flying through thin cloud layers and icing accumulates immediately, just like it did before they fixed it in SU5. Anyone else experiencing this? Gary i9-13900K, Asus RTX 4080, Asus Z790 Plus Wi-Fi, 32 GB Ram, Seasonic GX-1000W, LG C1 48” OLED 4K monitor, Quest 3 VR

I had a bit of icing yesterday, in the Mooney, but I turned on the windshield anti ice and it cleared.
October 24, 20214 yr Icing came back on one of my post SU6 flights on the FBW A320NX. It was just a few spots of icing on the wings and not over done on the fuselage as before. I kind of liked it.... Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

It’s possible that the severity didn’t regress, but flying through a small wispy cloud caused immediate icing. Prior to SU6 it took “a while” for ice to show up, at least for me.

October 25, 20214 yr I got some icing on a recent (post SU6) flight, even though I have it switched off?
October 25, 20214 yr Or…. Hear me out everyone. Maybe it just is getting colder as we get closer to winter and this icing is now more likely? Follow me on : Instagram See my Trailer: A Year Of Flight

October 25, 20214 yr Winter does not necessarily make icing conditions more likely; you lose 2'c for every 1000 ft of altitude, so a summer 25'c at sea level is 0'c at 13,000 ft. Icing conditions predominantly exist from +10 to -20'c SAT (that's for a J41, other airframes differ) - so if you were in a non-pressurised aircraft cruising at FL100 you could be less likely to get ice in winter when the temperature gets too cold for icing conditions. Also generally you need visible moisture for ice to form (so clouds, fog, rain etc). The reason you can get icing at positive temperatures of up to 10'c is because low pressure zones cause a drop in air temperature (that's how you get carb icing).
