Ground Icing - Foreign Reports
While the accidents involving the Challenger at Birmingham, the SAS MD-80 at Stockholm and Arrow Air’s DC-8 at Gander represent some very serious cases, there are a handful of interesting if less lethal cases that the Canadian and European authorities have published recently. These provide some perspective on common problems such as de-ice fluid residue and the inability to properly inspect the upper surface of a T-tail.
It is unfortunate that reports on such accidents as those which occurred at Dryden, Ontario, Skopje, Macedonia, Kimpo, Korea and Pau, France are unavailable. The latter three have not been translated; the former became a judicial inquiry, the report of which is only available for sale.
