Refer to figure.
On which of these routes would you not need to worry about icing at FL180?

  • A
    Frankfurt – Madrid
  • B
    Bordeaux – Zurich
  • C
    Shannon – Stockholm
  • D
    Helsinki – Copenhagen

Refer to figures.
"Frankfurt – Madrid" → INCORRECT. Frankfurt is situated in an area where moderate icing is forecast between below FL100 and FL200 => since we are flying at FL180, it will affect us.
"Shannon – Stockholm" → INCORRECT. This flight crosses two areas where icing could be expected:

- OCNL (occasional) CB (cumulonimbus) from below FL100 to FL200. Read chart legend: "CB implies TS, GR, MOD or SEV TURB and ICE".

- Moderate turbulence and ice from below FL100 to FL200.

"Helsinki – Copenhagen" → INCORRECT. Copenhagen is located in an area where moderate turbulence and icing are forecast from below FL100 to FL200.

"Bordeaux – Zurich" → CORRECT. This flight will happen in an area where moderate turbulence and icing are forecast, however only from below FL100 to FL170. Therefore, flying at FL180 we will fly over it and will be able to avoid icing conditions.
