This series of technical notes, 'loud Sampling Instruments for Icing Test Flights,' provides information and guidance for devices that are most commonly used for measuring cloud water and droplet sizes during aircraft certification test flights in natural icing conditions. Advice is given on the suitability, procedure, and precautions for using various instruments and on data analysis techniques. This technical note is devoted to the so-called optical array probea commercially available device for counting and sizing individual drops in the diameter range of 100 to 300 micron or more.
