weather servicesFAA-published sample question (IRA, Aug 2021)
If you encounter in-flight icing and ATC asks you to report your conditions, what are the official reportable icing values that you are expected to use?
A
Light, moderate, severe, extreme.
B
Trace, light, moderate, severe.✓ Correct Answer
C
Few, light, moderate, severe.
Explanation
AIM 7-1-19 defines the icing intensities pilots use when reporting to ATC: trace, light, moderate and severe. 'Extreme' is a turbulence intensity, not an icing one, and 'few' is a sky-cover term.
