Explain the "Cold Soaking" Phenomenon
Cold soaking is a phenomenon that occurs when an aircraft's wing fuel tanks contain very cold fuel, causing the wing skin to drop below freezing. This can lead to the formation of ice or frost on the wings, even when the outside air temperature is above freezing
