Abstract
This article summarizes some of the main results from a study into ice detectors for turboprop passenger aircraft. It Is concluded that ice detectors do not significantly improve the pilot's ability to detect i n flight icing. The study also identified that ice detection was not t he only icing issue for turboprop aircraft. Other issues concern the e ffectiveness of pneumatic de-icing boots, ice protection on the tailpl ane, and pilot training.
