In what weather condition is an aircraft at a higher risk of rapid ice accumulation?

True or False: Rain is a significant contributor to structural icing on an aircraft.

True or False: An aircraft encountering freezing rain is at a higher risk of rapid ice accumulation.

True or False: Supercooled large droplets (SLD) pose a greater icing threat to aircraft than smaller droplets.

True or False: The purpose of an ice protection system is primarily to enhance the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft.

True or False: Ice accumulation on propellers can lead to unbalanced conditions and affect engine performance.

True or False: Anti-icing systems are designed to remove ice that has already formed on aircraft surfaces.

True or False: The presence of supercooled water droplets is a prerequisite for structural icing on an aircraft.

True or False: Carburetor icing is more likely to occur at higher temperatures and lower humidity levels.

True or False: Thermal anti-ice systems use electrical heating elements to prevent ice formation on critical components.

True or False: Ice detection systems on aircraft primarily measure air temperature to assess the risk of ice formation.
