Of course, there's a lot of flights that will get scrubbed in an SR-22
because of icing, so this isn't a good plane for you.



My father owns SR-22, it has an anti-icing system (sprays solution out from
micro holes in the wings/prop/etc)... I am not yet a pilot, so I'm certain
I don't understand all the complexities of this, but would an SR-22 with
this system still be as limited as your statement suggests??


Yes. Even an anti-icing equipped light airplane is still a light
airplane and has neither the power nor the altitude capability to
withstand the ice that exists in much of the northern latitudes during
the winter.
