IO - thanks. The NTSB's report on the Roselawn accident is an interesting read, which chastises the DGAC and the FAA for their lack of oversight in the certification process more than the aircraft itself. It can be found on

I didn't mean to be abrupt, I just get tired of hearing the words "ATR" and "icing" always associated in the same sentence... When I found the aircraft to be a sound design (if a bit heavy in roll, and with a user-unfriendly AFCS).
Whether or not turboprops really are more prone to airframe icing is debatable; they usually don't have the luxury of being able to fly above the icing level...
Cheers
P.S: sorry for thread creep!
