Which risk increases when an aircraft flies through an area of supercooled large water droplets (SLD)?

💡 Explanation

When an aircraft encounters SLD conditions, structural icing occurs because the supercooled water droplets freeze rapidly on impact, accreting ice, especially on control surfaces. Therefore structural icing is the primary risk, rather than flameout, avionics failure or depressurization, which are associated with different environmental factors.
