Another crucial part of winter airport operations is deicing aircraft before their departure. De-icing fluid may be sprayed on an airplane before departure to remove any snow or ice built upon the aircraft's flight surfaces. If they remained, they could disrupt the airflow over the flight surfaces.

If icing occurs, it should be reported as Trace, Light, Moderate or Severe. Here's a link to a tool that forecasters use to determine icing severity and probability: To avoid areas of icing, look for any reports of icing and AIRMETs on the route of flight before departure.

Answer: Though landing in icy conditions is challenging, it can be done safely. The modern jet's anti-skid system is very good. I have landed on ice-covered runways many times using the anti-skid system to safely stop the airplane.
