deiced single
My Mooney ovatiion 2 GX has known ice certification with the TKS system.
Very effective in the winter (and summer) when you are in precipitation.
It is expensive to refil though but you can pick it up (aeroshell compound 07) at some european airports. I have it on "max" for a couple of minutes and then "normal" so long as the ice isn't continuing to build. With no ice on the airframe off it goes.
A Mooney fan working in Birmingham ATC enquired as to whether I had TKS fitted when I crossed their airspace in it yesterday - it makes the Mooney as much of a true year round machine as a light single can be.
Unfortunately living in the UK (where the Wx is frequently pants) we need all the help we can get.
