A Pilot's Guide to Ground Icing is a free, online course primarily intended for professional pilots who make their own operational de-icing and anti-icing decisions. This includes pilots who fly business, corporate, air taxi, or freight operations in fixed-wing aircraft ranging from business jets to single-engine turboprops. The course discusses the risks of contamination, cues to alert the pilot to ground icing hazards, and actions to help ensure safe operations. Imagery, case studies, pilot testimonials, and interactive elements are used to inform the pilot and help him or her make better operational decisions. An international team of professional pilots and experts in icing, de-icing and anti-icing fluids, and training applications developed the course.

A Pilot's Guide to In-Flight Icing is a free, on-line course primarily intended for the general aviation pilot who flies aircraft certified for flight in icing, although much of the information is applicable to all pilots. With an operational focus, this course provides tools pilots can use to deal with in-flight icing. Emphasis is on avoidance, detection and exit, as well as the effects of ice accretion on performance and handling and the particular hazard of Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) icing. This self-guided training aid contains imagery captured on NASA Icing Research flights, animation, pilot testimonials, case studies, and interactive demonstrators. In addition, interactive exercises allow the user to asses his or her operational understanding of the key points presented. System Requirements: Flash Player 6 or higher and a Javascript-enabled browser. Users should also disable pop-up blocking software while using the course.
