potentially more hazardous effect in other configurations. Remember that for normal cruise configurations and speeds, both the wing and tailplane are ordinarily at moderate AOA, making wing or tailplane stall unlikely. After configuration changes and in maneuvering flight, wings ... occur at a less extreme angle than on a clean aircraft. e. Autopilot. When the autopilot is engaged, it can mask changes in handling characteristics due to aerodynamic effects of icing that would be detected by the pilot…
