(p. pr. & vb. n.)
of Ice
  

(n.)
A coating or covering resembling ice, as of sugar and milk or white of egg; frosting.
  

The accumulation of airframe ice.
Types of icing are:

a. Rime Ice
Rough, milky, opaque ice formed by the instantaneous freezing of small supercooled water droplets.

b. Clear Ice
A glossy, clear, or translucent ice formed by the relatively slow freezing or large supercooled water droplets.

c. Mixed
A mixture of clear ice and rime ice.
Intensity of icing:

a. Trace
Ice becomes perceptible. Rate of accumulation is slightly greater than the rate of sublimation. Deicing/anti-icing equipment is not utilized unless encountered for an extended period of time (over 1 hour).

b. Light
The rate of accumulation may create a problem if flight is prolonged in this environment (over 1 hour). Occasional use of deicing/anti-icing equipment removes/prevents accumulation. It does not present a problem if the deicing/anti-icing equipment is used.

c. Moderate
The rate of accumulation is such that even short encounters become potentially hazardous and use of deicing/anti-icing equipment or flight diversion is necessary.

d. Severe
The rate of accumulation is such that deicing/anti-icing equipment fails to reduce or control the hazard. Immediate flight diversion is necessary.
