NOTE-

Severe icing is aircraft dependent, as are the other categories of icing intensity. Severe icing may occur at any
ice accumulation rate when the icing rate or ice accumulations exceed the tolerance of the aircraft.
EXAMPLE-
Pilot report: give aircraft identification, location, time (UTC), intensity of type, altitude/FL, aircraft type, indicated air
speed (IAS), and outside air temperature (OAT).
NOTE-
Rime ice. Rough, milky, opaque ice formed by the instantaneous freezing of small supercooled water droplets.
Clear ice. A glossy, clear, or translucent ice formed by the relatively slow freezing of large supercooled water droplets.
The OAT should be requested by the FSS or ATC if not included in the PIREP.

Note-
Ice types are difficult for the pilot to discern and have uncertain effects on an airplane in flight. Ice type definitions will
be included in the AIM for use in the "Remarks" section of the PIREP and for use in forecasting.
