condition outside of the aircraft’s certification icing envelope. Roll upset may be caused by airflow separation (aerodynamic stall), which induces self-deflection of the ailerons and loss of or degraded roll handling characteristics [Figure 4-21]. These phenomena ... result from severe icing conditions without the usual symptoms of ice accumulation or a perceived aerodynamic stall…
