I wonder why the system on the Mooney is considered superior as it is based on the same TKS technology as far as I was aware.
The main reason that they let the DA42 do the certification in Europe instead of USA is because in Europe it seems to be that the test minima are much below the ones that are in the states.
I assume there must be a valid reason why a manufacture that installs a certain kit takes the least difficult path to get the certification. Do you care when you pick up loads of ice ? I do!
