I KNOW this is a big can of worms, but I have a specific question
relating to sub-paragraphs b.1 and b.2 of this regulation regarinding
operating in icing conditions.

It says "...no pilot may fly--
(1) Under IFR into konwn or forecast moderate icing conditions; or
(2) Under VFR into known light or moderate icing conditions..."


This applies to large and turbine powered aircraft.

For us little guys, ANY ICE AT ALL is forbidden. (unless the aircraft is
certified for known ice, which very few spam cans are). Ice is insidious, and
very dangerous. It creeps up on you a little at a time like quicksand, and if
you don't get out quickly, it can easily become too late.
