Hi Swedish Steve,
Yep, agree that it must be like that - if flaps are left down for taxi, you must de-/anti-ice with flaps in TO position
Also agree, on the 73 the flaps need to be left down for taxi-in. We retract them to 15, but that will not close any of the TE gaps, and leave the LE in FULL EXT. No idea about other types - although the ATR has been known to pick up stuff if reverse has been overzealous!
