The Cessna Model 208 and 208B Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and
FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)Supplement S1 "Known Icing
Euipment" begs to differ.

Does it? I haven't seen one, but another paragraph in the
Transport Canada document hints that flight (of suitably equipped
airplanes) into known ice is still legal:

"2) Exercise caution when dispatching into, or operating in forecast
or known icing conditions along an intended route. Use all available
resources (weather forecast, Air Traffic Services, PIREPS, etc.) to
ascertain the presence of icing conditions. Reports of icing
conditions should be considered to be prohibitive where those
conditions meet or exceed the definition of moderate or greater icing
conditions for the Cessna Caravan C208 airplanes as defined in
applicable ADs, AFMs and AMOCs."

I was replying to someone who said the Caravan is NOT certified for
flight into known icing. Obviously when properly equipped and in
compliance with the various ADs it is.

As for Para 2 above, that's pretty boilerplate. None of the turboprop
aircraft I'm aware of are certified for flight into known continuous
severe icing or freezing rain, which is basically what that paragraph
says. It doesn't remove the known ice certification, just limits the
upper limit of the icing it can be flown in.
