I don't want to over engineer an ultimate solution right now, I just
want a flag specifying wing icing or not.
You might want to make that a number, specifying a normalized
thickness in millimeters or whatnot. Ice is a progressive effect.
I suppose one could argue

the UIUC stuff.)
Let's set up a proper subtree now so that we can support this properly in
the future, when we can model more

What other potential hazards did you have in mind?
Structural damage, fire, obstructed visibility (say, ice on the windshielf)
and depressurization spring immediately to mind.
All the best,

1) The state/existance of the hazard. Do icing conditions exist? At
what altitudes, severity, etc. etc. This should probably live in the
environment subsystem.
As far as I recall, icing is most likely between about 0 degC and -10 degC,
and is very rare below -20 degC
Add to that a set of ground conditions:
Ice on ground, wet ground, etc.

Murphy's law! That's a hazard by itself. We definately can't leave this out!
Some other hazards included:
Birds damaging airframe.
Engine explosions.
Birds get into engines.
Engine disintegrating.
Engine failures.
Hydraulics failures.
Electric problems such as short circuit leading to hazard
