A practical reference guide to understanding, recognising, and managing aircraft icing conditions in New Zealand aviation operations.
The CAA Aircraft Icing Handbook provides pilots, instructors, and aviation operators with essential guidance on how ice forms, its effects on aircraft performance, and how to safely prevent and manage icing in both flight and ground operations.
This handbook is a Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand publication designed to improve pilot awareness and decision-making in icing conditions. It explains the risks associated with airframe, induction system, and helicopter icing, and provides practical strategies for safe flight planning and in-flight management.
It is widely used in pilot training, flight instruction, and operational safety planning as a foundational resource for understanding icing risk.
Icing remains one of the most significant weather-related hazards in aviation. Even small amounts of ice can severely impact lift, increase drag, and reduce controllability.
This handbook helps pilots recognise conditions conducive to icing and make safer operational decisions before and during flight.
Build safer flying practices with a clear understanding of aircraft icing and how to manage it effectively.
