Zusammenfassung:	LASER-BASED SUPERCOOLED LARGE DROP ICING CONDITION DETECTION SYSTEM A method and apparatus for detecting icing conditions. An icing condition detection system comprises a number of sensors (626) and an icing condition detector. The number of sensors (626) is located in a number of locations (632) on an aircraft (612). A sensor in the number of sensors (626) is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation (627) into drops (638) of water in an environment around the aircraft (612). The sensor in the number of sensors (626) is configured to detect responses to the electromagnetic radiation (627). The sensor in the number of sensors (626) is configured to generate data from the responses. The icing condition detector is configured to monitor for the data from the number of sensors (626). The icing condition detector is further configured to detect a presence of a number of types of icing conditions for the aircraft (612) using the data from the number of sensors (626). C) '0 J \\ CCj
