Ok so it's not exactly an ice breaker, how about a comparison to a Seneca II, my current aircraft.

wherever you go just stay away from the caravan....unless your flying in florida.....its a death trap in the winter

The same was said about the ATR. Know your airplane, know your (and your
airplane's) limits.

Some companies are taking care to cancel a flight on the first indication of
icing on a route for the Van.

I've heard that the Seneca handles ice quite well.

 

[brokeflyer]

yeah....unless you don't have boots on your seneca

not quite as you said...

saying it has a high limit as opposed to a "death trap in winter" arent exactly the same thing :smash:

...and again, i disagree. the van is a perfectly capable aircraft and nowhere near the "deathtrap" you so espouse. take a look at where they are operated on a daily basis and how many flights take place all winter long and you'll see what i mean

 

[brokeflyer]

well i flew one in the great lakes area for 6 years.....at least one crashes every winter due to ice. But, if you like it then I like you. Cause as long as you or someone else is in it then that means i don't have to be.

my opinion...ill never fly one again. Ill quit flying before I have to fly that thing again.

Back to ACC or MAC: I think MAC's health insurance is pretty expensive for a family guy- if that's your situation. Not sure about about ACC though. Anyone?

I cannot comment on the family insurance....however for a single person...

$1500 deductable is $70 per month
$500 deductable is $140 per month
