To whom should icing reports be passed on?

Passing icing reports to concerned aircraft and other sectors is essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of flight operations. When an aircraft encounters icing conditions, it is crucial that the information is communicated effectively to other aircraft operating in the same airspace and to various sectors of air traffic control. This allows other pilots to be aware of potential hazards and to take necessary precautions, such as altering their flight paths or preparing for icing conditions.

In addition to keeping other pilots informed, sharing icing reports with air traffic control sectors enhances the overall situational awareness of the controllers. This communication helps them to manage traffic better, reroute flights if necessary, and provide up-to-date information to all aircraft in the vicinity. By ensuring that this information reaches all relevant parties, it enhances safety for all operational flights in the affected areas.
