Abstract

A method includes receiving a plurality of temperature measurements from temperature sensors of an aircraft. The method includes determining whether a first count of one or more first temperature metrics that are within a temperature range is greater than a first threshold. The one or more temperature metrics are derived from the plurality of temperature measurements. The method includes initiating generating an icing output signal when the first count is greater than or equal to the first threshold.
