[list=1][*]In discovery, demand plaintiff lawyer find like configuration a/c and videotape flight in same icing conditions[*]Wait looong time while plaintiff lawyer goes through test pilots until one survives -- while a deep pocket plaintiff lawyer can consider airframes expendable, insurance for test pilots may be a problem. May need to find test pilots with painful terminal illness who'd rather go quickly than slowly.[*]Show all videos in court.[/list=1] In my book taking off in any a/c in freezing rain is the aerodynamic equivalent of driving a car into a bridge abutment at 80 mph. Leaving it on the ramp for fifteen minutes or more while ice acculumates is just icing on the cake
