I saw a demo supposedly related to icing conditions. A 5 gallon pale of super cooled (very pure) water in liquid form, the demonstrator took a pencil and as soon as he touched the water the entire 5 gallons immediately turned solid. He indicated a plane traveling along and contacting a thick cloud/area of water would cause a similar freeze up which would be too think to be broken by inflating a bladder.
Were that true, no in-flight deicing system would work. Also, no aircraft could ever fly through a cloud at cruising altitude. Water requires a kernel to freeze - something to freeze around - which is why the zero impurity water can remain liquid at freezing temperatures. An aircraft can be the kernel. Except there is little zero impurity water at 40,000 feet. A dust mote will suffice for a kernel.
I have never read the pre-flight checklist, let alone in Brazilian Portuguese. From checklists I have read, it wouldn't describe the mechanism of how the deicing or any other system functioned.
Most likely. In the West plus Japan, a commercial airline pilot requires 1500 hours of flying. In the Third World, it's 150. Which explains why foreign airlines are crashing regularly while US- and Western-pilot flown aircraft rarely crash.
I have made a donation. It is a very small amount but the number is of mystical significance and I hope it helps towards justice.
Thank you. Our niece was actually our deceased daughter's best friend, not a blood relative. We love her and her family all the same.
Blood connection is not required to have the deepest connections of love and concern.
Bill, I keep tellin' ya, people got no business flying around in the sky.
More info, please, on your donation request.

Wow.
They must not have followed the checklist.

So the pilots were ill-trained?

Wow!
