weather servicesFAA-published sample question (FIA, Aug 2021)
Which in-flight advisory would contain information on severe icing?
A
PIREP.
B
SIGMET.✓ Correct Answer
C
CONVECTIVE SIGMET.
Explanation
AIM 7-1-6 lists severe icing not associated with thunderstorms among the conditions for which a (non-convective) SIGMET is issued. A PIREP is an individual pilot report rather than an in-flight advisory, and a Convective SIGMET covers thunderstorm activity (which implies severe icing but is issued for convection).
