Approximately 28,000 nautical miles (52,000 km) of select, in-flight measurements of cloud water concentrations, droplet sizes, temperatures, and other variables in supercooled clouds over portions of North America, Europe, and the northern oceans have been condensed into a computerized database for deriving a worldwide, statistical description of aircraft icing conditions aloft. The data are compared with the currently accepted envelopes of icing cloud variables specified in Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 25 and 29 Appendix C for the design of aircraft ice protection equipment. There are differences, along with some deficiencies, unrealistic trends, and difficulties in the use of Appendix C. As a result, suggestions are made for updating, modernizing, and improving the currently accepted envelopes in Appendix C.
