Clear (glaze) ice is the most serious type of structural icing because:
A.
It is clear and therefore more aerodynamically smooth than rime ice
B.
It accumulates rapidly as large supercooled water droplets spread and freeze — it can double wing chord length, adds significant weight, and disrupts the airfoil severely
C.
It forms only in clear air with no clouds, making it impossible to detect before flight
