In Brookhaven, members of the St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church were mourning Brice, who was an assistant pastor there. It was here that investigators noted a potentially important difference between the certification tests and the actual flight: namely, that the pilots of flight 3272 hadnt activated all of their deicing equipment. It was born from fundamental blind spots in the certification process, and from widespread contradictions between that process and the reality on the ground. According to the Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 25, Appendix C, to be certified to fly in icing conditions, an airplanes manufacturer was required to prove that no adverse control behavior would occur if the plane was continuously exposed to freezing droplets up to 50 microns in diameter for up to 45 minutes.
