The narrative coverage includes those events preceding a particular calamity, often the excruciating search for a missing plane, the sad task of body recovery, and the vital investigative efforts leading to a probable cause, lessons learned, and progressive measures required to prevent or minimize repeat occurrences."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Ice formation on aircraft can disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wings and prevent the aircraft from taking off or decrease the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft. Takeoff and landing operations can also be risky in winter weather. Despite persistent efforts by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and others to mitigate icing risks, icing remains a serious concern. This report reviewed: (1) the extent to which commercial airplanes have experienced accidents and incidents related to icing; (2) FAA's inspection and enforcement activities related to icing; (3) the efforts of FAA and others to improve safety in winter weather; and (4) the challenges that continue to affect aviation safety in winter weather. Includes recommendations. Tables.
