This report summarizes the Integrated Icing Diagnostic Algorithm (IIDA) Assessment conducted by ACT-320 at Atlantic Coast Airlines and Air Wisconsin from September 1998, through May 1999. The IIDA, developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), combines a number of inflight icing detection techniques into an integrated algorithm that makes use of the strengths of each technique. The algorithm output consists of three dimensional grids of Icing Potential and Supercooled Large Drop Potential, augmented by several intermediate products to aid in assessing in-flight icing conditions. Feedback was collected from airline dispatchers and focused on the utility and perceived benefit of IDA, along with suggested enhancements for dispatcher use. Assessment results indicated that IIDA was useful to airline dispatch operations, with the potential to be used for several dispatcher job task areas. It was recommended that IIDA be considered for adoption as an official aviation weather product.
