Trial by Ice

Air Facts

After all, I had just aced my checkride. I didnt know but it might have been due to the angle of attack of the pitot tube that would not let the full force of the relative wind enter the tube. We were about 1/2 mile from the threshold. What else was there to know? With so much ice, why hadnt we stalled?
