What a chance !!! I prefer to avoid such a *chance* and don't take that risk. Alain you are correct in most cases, I am refering to the smaller airplanes in our corporate fleet, which although smaller are FAA certified for flight in known icing conditions. I wasnt very clear about that. My point was that having pitot heat off doesnt save you anything, so why not have it on all the time and keep clear of danger? And yes, your point is well said, with a Lancair, you had better be clear of icing. Nathan Kanagy C52A, CE-500, LR-JET, ATP CFII MEI & lurking dreamer on the LML.
