Drone exam · Meteorology

A small amount of ice forms on one propeller before landing. Why should the next flight not begin after simply wiping the visible ice away?

Answer

The pilot should verify that the icing conditions have ended and inspect the propellers, motors, sensors, and aircraft for remaining moisture, imbalance, or damage before returning it to service.

Explanation

Removing visible ice does not remove the atmospheric cause or prove the system was unaffected.
