I noticed the post about icing on the main page yesterday or so, and I thought this link deserved its own thread. You can get a free copy of "A pilot's guide to in-flight icing" from NASA. One of my current aviation classes actually tests its students on the material contained on the CD and it is an awesome resource for icing with tons of material and interviews from airline pilots using the Quicktime format.
Topics are broken down into three "modules". Preflight, In-flight and Emergency Ops. Some of the many topics include indentifying the different ice types (good for me since after almost 250 hours I still dont know what it really looks like), handling characteristics, avoidance, recovery, etc.
I HIGHLY recommend this interactive CD to everyone, especially since it is free. I think it took under 2 weeks to receive mine, and there is no better time than right now for everyone to be learning or brushing up on icing ops. The link is below.
