Think of it as analogous to the people that buy a 4WD / SUV then go

down an icy road and end up in a ditch.

i like that analogy. i'm sorta suprised noone has gotten on the cirrus
guys' comment that they have a really excellent icing system...the
saying it's only good for an hour or so to find somewhere to land.
huh?? do you suspect they might phrase that a little different in the
sales talk?? i would be interested in knowing how many times that pilot
had made that trip in those "approximate" conditions, relied on that
"excellent" icing system and did just fine.

baron driver i know suggested his excellent icing system was very
valuable in that it gave you something to fiddle with while killing
time waiting for the impact.
