Have not heard anything regarding the pilot other than he did not survive. Have a good friend that is flying a PC12 in the Idaho region and was impressed with the factory checkout including having a PC12 check airman fly with him for awhile, including short field, mountain type work. I think the airplne is pretty capable of handling icing conditions assuming it is operated accordingly.
