Which risk increases when an aircraft experiences prolonged flight in supercooled large droplet (SLD) conditions?

💡 Explanation

Prolonged flight in SLD conditions can lead to ice accretion disrupting airflow and increasing wing stall speed due to disrupting the boundary layer; this is a form of boundary layer separation. Because the ice distorts the expected airfoil shape, it causes accelerated wing stall, rather than other temperature-related failures.
