Differences between TKS and Known Ice
Hi there,
I picked up a very interesting point in the Cirrus debate.
What's the difference between an aircraft with TKS or Evade style ice protection system and an airframe certified for known ice.
The point made by IO540 is that the legislators allow a system essentially (legally) incapable of protecting the airframe from ice to be manufactured and sold as ice protection.
So what does it take to go from ice protection to known ice?
