It would seem to add a lot of expensive weight if flight through known ice is forbidden. What does FedEx do with their Caravans when the weather is less than CAVU? Ground them? I flew on a Caravan a few weeks back that certainly was equipped for ice. Long underwear and a parka around the airframe? |

G Boots on the lifting surfaces, struts, prop, cargo pod leading edges, and an inertial intake separator. The plane was also placarded on the panel for imitations in operations in ice.
