Weather Conditions and Flight Safety

The video discusses the weather conditions faced by United Express flight 6291, focusing on icing between 2,000 and 19,000 feet. It explores the experiences of other pilots who flew through similar conditions and landed safely, suggesting that the weather should not have prevented a safe landing. Investigators found no issues with the plane's icing system, indicating that the flight should have been able to land successfully despite moderate icing.

What weather phenomenon was affecting the flight conditions discussed in the video?

• A thunderstorm

• A heatwave

• A cold front

• A hurricane

What type of icing was reported between 2,000 and 19,000 feet?

• Clear icing

• Rime mixed icing
