From a legal standpoint there is an icing AD which requires a lot of
equipment that none of the airplanes have (or need). It consists of an ice
detector, trim-in-motion sensor and and automatic autopilot disconnect.
There is also an AMOC (Alternate Method of Compliance) approved by the FAA
which requires satisfactory training at either Reese Howell's school or
Simcom.

Your statement makes it sound like the training is mandatory. I am
curious why. Obviously, there are safety reasons to go, but if you
don't have insurance I didn't think the FAA made you.

Is this a type rating thing? Driven by what? Max weight over 12,500?
Turbine engines? Service ceiling?

Inquiring piston drivers want to know...
