I didn't hear her talk about boots, but only listened once. As I recall,
Caravans do not have boots, and are not certificated for flight in known
ice. This is also true because those big struts also can pick up a lot of
ice. Prop de ice may be electric.

The only option for KI certification is through the installation of TKS,
which also protects the struts.

I would ignore any comments from Anthony about the pilot being scared- he
readily admits that he's afraid to fly in a real plane, and lives in an
imaginary world, where crises are addressed by pushing the reset button.
