We track ground and airfoil ice accretion in millimeters. Ground is accreted by plan surface area and weather conditions at a maximum of 7mm per hour. Airfoil is accreted by frontal surface area of airfoils (wings, cowls, stabilizers) and is a function of the TAS with weather conditions at a maximum of 177.8 mm per hour. Loading a vehicle or PODS into a bay will also load any accreted ice! The ice will melt in the bay but will equal the same weight in water held in breakers (to keep it from shifting rapidly) under the floor grates. Inclined channels will guide the water towards the edges or back of the vehicle depending on the model. When the bay doors are open the water weight will be offloaded.
