Icing problems on Cessna Caravan's

The winter in the northern hemisphere had its usual toll on aircraft flying in heave ice.

Several reports surfaced on the ability of the Cessna Caravan to handle ice.

One aircraft stalled at 102 kts in Russia with heavy ice on board

Transport Canada has just brought a communiqué out dealing with ice on the Caravan. Included is the reference

This is very good reading for all of us operating this super aircraft.

I would like to hear from the ppruners if they had incidents with the Van in icing conditions.
