Q5 Explanation : A rotor system will usually ice up in the middle section of the blades first. This will effectively reduce the size of the autorotative driving zone, resulting in low RRPM.If icing is severe enough, the rotor may slow to the point of stalling! It should be noted that this condition could begin to occur before any significant loss of total thrust, or requirement for additional torque, is noticed by the pilot.
