I see Phil is back, we all know who that is don't we? Avbug is talking to himself again, look at when Phil posts, it's always after or before avbug. Still no answers from the peanut gallery, just rehashing old posts about flying in the winter. This board is sad when nobody with a CFI has any actual or experience with ice. Everyone in my area has gotten iced that has over 500 hrs and you better know how to deal with it and have an out or plan. Not having experience in a controlled environment with ice or dead engines is incomprehensible to me. There should be a law or reg that requires IMC time to get an instrument rating. There also should be a law that commercial pilots for hire know what there plane will do with ice on it. Look at the frost that killed the "professional" pilots in Colorado last year. If they only knew that plane wouldn't take off with frost they would still be alive. Every plane reacts differently with ice, knowing what it will do can and will save my life. Not practicing engine out procedures and other emergencies breeds complacency which I feel over the summer has set in. I want to know exactly what my plane will and won't do, if you have a problem with that then buy your own. I have already found "the man" and will train hard with him until fall to get my skills back, in the mean time, you can run your mouth all you want, it won't change a thing.
