An icing conditions detection system is configured to detect icing conditions with respect to an aircraft. The icing conditions detection system includes an icing conditions detector secured to a surface of the aircraft and that is configured to detect liquid water within an air stream through which the aircraft flies. A free stream of atmospheric air passes over the icing conditions detector during flight. An icing conditions determination control unit is communicatively coupled to the icing conditions detector, and is configured to detect a first icing condition and a second icing condition based on at least one icing conditions signal received from the icing conditions detector. The first icing condition differs from the second icing condition.
