Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to a method for detecting ice accretion present on an aircraft. In one example, a depth signal indicating a depth of water and/or ice collected on a baseplate in a collection chamber of an aircraft ice detector is received from a depth sensor. A mass signal indicating a mass of the water and/or ice collected on the baseplate is received from a mass sensor. A volume of the water and/or ice collected on the baseplate is calculated based on the depth signal and dimensions of the baseplate. A density of the water and/or ice collected on the baseplate is calculated based on the mass signal and the calculated volume of the water and/or ice collected on the baseplate. An ice accretion signal is output based on the calculated density of the water and/or ice collected on the baseplate being less than a threshold density.
