Scope
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides various graphical displays of atmospheric variables related to aircraft icing conditions in natural clouds. It is intended as a review of recent developments on the subject, and for stimulating thought on novel ways to arrange and use the available data. Included in this Report is FAR 25 (JAR 25) Appendix C, the established Aircraft Icing Atmospheric Characterization used for engineering design, development, testing and certification of civilian aircraft to fly in aircraft icing conditions.
Rationale
The information presented in this SAE Aerospace Informatino Report (AIR) is revised to reflect current icing certification procedures. The document is technically correct for Appendix C icing conditions, is mature and is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. There are additional icing condition definitions that have been developed to address supercooled large drop icing and mixed phase/ice crystal conditions. Addition of these icing conditions to this AIR would not fit within the scope of this document. Therefore, the document will not be revised in the future and the intent is to stabilize the document at its Five-Year Review.
AIR5396A has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE Five-Year Review policy.

Issuing Committee
AC-9C Aircraft Icing Technology Committee
Furthers the advancement of technology related to the research, design, test and utilization of aircraft environmental and anti-icing/deicing systems. Develops and updates standards, recommended practices, and information reports contributing to the quality, economy, and safety of commercial and military aircraft.
A list of the technical reports developed by the AC-9C Sub- Committee can be obtained by searching on 'aircraft icing' and selecting 'standards', from the SAE Home Page. AC-9C StandardsReference
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
