runback: The condition in which water runs back from the leading edge to freeze in a colder zone, caused either by the liberation of latent heat from supercooled droplets to an extent that the droplets remain liquid and run back, or by insufficient heat being supplied to the leading edge to evaporate all the water there so that some of it runs back. [French equivalent: "ruissellement."] 2, record 5, English, - runback%20ice
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The signal change also created a potential concern. Although the revision reduced the size of all leading edge accumulation ice shapes, the issue of potential runback ice was raised since the system is activated with only a thin level of ice buildup. 3, record 5, English, - runback%20ice
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Freezing rain, freezing drizzle and mixed conditions may result in extreme ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system. Freezing rain, freezing drizzle, mixed conditions and descent into icing clouds from above freezing temperatures may result in runback ice forming beyond protected surfaces. This ice cannot be shed and it may seriously degrade performance and control of the airplane. 4, record 5, English, - runback%20ice
