Isn't the TKS equipped SR-22 certified for known icing?

I don't think so, yet. See
http://www.flyingmag.com/article.asp...&article_id=99

"For the 2003 model year, Cirrus is offering an optional TKS anti-icing
system for the SR22. The "weeping wing" system--that will deice the wings,
horizontal stabilizer and propeller--will not be certified for known icing,
but will be designed to allow pilots to escape from icing conditions. The
fluid reservoir will hold about an hour's worth of protection in order to
preclude pilots from thinking they can use the system to fly in ice. A
known-icing system with a larger reservoir will be a follow-on
development. The TKS system is priced at $19,700."
