| I have TKS on my cessna TR182. If I put it on max 5-10 minutes before entering ice the wings will stay clean except for a thing strip right on the leading edge. I've been in moderate, although not for long. Currently trying to debug the flow on the struts (not enough).

The key with boots or any system that cycles if you're not able to regain some of the airspeed loss that occurred before the boots cycled it's time to go down.
Typing and grammar errors courtesy of Siri and the iPhone. splitting this thread from John's. good tape. What would you have done and when? It's a turbine with tons of climb power and boots and you've seen moderate ice before.
a) stayed below IMC b) not entered IMC until you were guaranteed a continuous climb to fl200 c) accept clearance as given accident pilot and then violate clearance and continue climbing once icing got beyond light, declare emergency d) descend as soon as you saw ice e) something else
