Meteorological factors
Sectie9 TB
The formation of ice accretion in clouds depends on the quantity and on the size of the supercooled water drops above the freezing level the temperature.
the lower the temperature, the smaller the droplet that can exist in supercooled form
Sectie9 TB
10
The supercooled water content depends on the temperature. Between 0C and -13C *: almost only supercooled water drops (large and small). Between -13C and -23C: the large supercooled water drops freeze on ice nuclei (= ice) small supercooled water drops dont. Mix* Between -23C and -40C: Only small supercooled water drops can exist Below -40C there is no more supercooled water available for ice accretion*
Sectie9 TB 11
Aerodynamic factors speed of the aircraft the faster the aircraft, the greater the risk of ice deposit*. temperature of the aircraft's surface shape (thickness) of the aircraft cell part (wings, antenna,.) the smaller the curvature, the greater the risk of ice deposit

Carburettor icing *
caused by
1. the sudden temperature drop as latent heat is absorbed when fuel evaporates 2. due to adiabatic cooling following the pressure reduction as air is accelerated through the carburettor venturi
most critical range of temperature is from 3C and +15C (warm air can contain more moist)
in cloud or in clear air
Sectie9 TB 14
The supercooled water drops in different clouds stratiform clouds only light icing between 0C / -13C

Main dangers of clear ice can grow rapidly and it is difficult to remove if shaken off it flies away in large lumps, which may damage the surface or may strike the fan and compressor blades when it occurs on the propeller, may lead to serious vibration.

Formation of hoar frost: by deposition of water vapour directly in ice. the only icing where no liquid water is involved..! occurs frequently on parked aircraft during a clear night when the temperature of airframe surface falls below 0C* in flight, if the aircraft moves rapidly into a warmer and damp layer of air by descent or from ascent into an inversion May occur on bottom sfc of wings holding fuel T<0 on parked aircraft after landing

Recommendations Know the level of icing for which your airplane is certified and never intentionally exceed that level. Never leave the ground with ice or snow adhering to any part of the airframe. Never fly in known icing conditions with any anti-icing or deicing components inoperable. When you observe ice on the wings, assume that there is even more ice on the tail and that it will have a more profound effect. Use de-icing and anti-icing components strictly according to Sectie9 TB 43 manufacturer's recommendations.

2. Turbulence
Definition: Turbulence is short-period and small-scale oscillations in wind. It is very unorganised atmospheric motion including gusts and lulls in the wind Aviation definition of the turbulence:
Variations in the wind along the aircraft flight path of a pattern, intensity and duration that disturb the aircrafts attitude about its major axis but do not significantly alter its flight path.

Positive: performance increase, more lift, greater IAS Negative: performance decrease, less lift, smaller IAS.

THUNDERSTORMS (onweersBUI*)
USA STORM is een BUI !!!!!
lifting forces can be caused by: - local differential heating over land, solar insolation and formation of thermal lows - night time radiation cooling from the top - orographic effects (lifting) - frontal activity (frontal lifting) - low level convergence, along a trough for example - due to differential advections: cold air advection aloft and warm air advection in low levels.

Frontal thunderstorms
When the warm air in the warm sector is unstable, the forced lifting along the frontal surface may lead to the formation of embedded cumulonimbus in the frontal clouds along the front at the surface. They are not random but organised along a line along the surface front. They are associated with active cold fronts.
Convergence thunderstorms
These thunderstorms are observed along the ITCZ, an E-ly wave, a trough and if the airmass is potentially unstable there is also a risk of thunderstorms along the sea-breeze front.*

Hail
Hail is a form of precipitation which consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice (hailstones). Hailstones on Earth usually consist mostly of water ice and measure between 5 and 50 millimetres in diameter, with the larger stones coming from severe thunderstorms.[1] Hail is always produced by cumulonimbi (thunderclouds), usually at the front of the storm system, and is composed of transparent ice or alternating layers of transparent and translucent ice at least 1 mm thick. Small hailstones are less than 5 mm in diameter, and are reported as SHGS. Unlike ice pellets, they are layered and can be irregular and clumped together. Wikipedia

Hagelfeiten. De grootste hagelsteen die in de wereld viel had een doorsnede van 17,8 centimeter. De hagelsteen viel op 22 juni 2003 in Aurora (Nebraska). De steen kwam met een snelheid van 160 kilometer per uur neer.
De zwaarste hagelsteen viel op 3 september 1970 in Coffeyville (Kansas) en woog 757 gram. Het ijsblok wordt bewaard in een vriezer in Boulder en staat vermeld in het Guinness Book of World Records. Van de hagelsteen is een plastic replica gemaakt, zodat iedereen het kan zien.
Ook een grote hagelsteen viel in Potter (Nebraska) op 6 juli 1928 en was 13,7 centimeter. Ooggetuigen zeiden dat tussen de individuele hagelstenen 3 tot 4.5 meter ruimte zat. In juli 1990 werd Denver (Colorado) door zware hagel getroffen. Hier was voor $625 miljoen recordschade. Idem ca. 15 jaar geleden in Munchen
