GSX not giving the option for de-icing at 0c.
« on: October 07, 2019, 08:35:02 pm »
GSX not giving the option for de-icing at 0c, Im at CYZF, and would expect GSX to offer de-cing, but it doesn't. I have restarted GSX, still not giving me the option. METAR says 0c with a dewpoint of -5c. Help me please, Ollie.

Never mind found this useful piece of info:

"No, it doesn't. The below +8 is the absolute limit for even considering possible icing but, when icing is above zero (and below +8 ), will be registered only in these cases:

- Dew point is within 2°C of temperature (high humidity)

- Dew point is higher than temperature (super saturated air)

- It's either raining/snowing

If the temperature is between 0 and +8, but none of the above is true, deicing won't be registered."
