Pre-takeoff checklist
I was on a commercial flight out of Dallas yesterday morning. We were waiting on a de-ice truck and ended up a half hour later the planned getting off the ground. It was cold(er) than normal, say about 30 degrees, warming to mid-40s later in the day, but the sky was clear and sunny. I was not sure if there was protocol that was being followed by the pilot but I didn't understand why the plane was being de-iced. I took a snapshot off of Foreflight with radar, airmets, and pireps turned on. As you can see, no icing airmets, no pireps, and no convective activity. What am I missing here?
