But if it's not Boeing, why would you want to be goeing?
Because my company has never bothered to ask me what type of A/C I would like to fly.... they are soo insensitive to the ambitions of a modern pilot/aviator.

And what about the bit between +6 and +10 deg C? Why would you Fokkers be free of icing there?
I don't know... why would Boeings be more prone to icing??


On a more serious note....

It seems to me that in aviation there are SOPs based on solid scientific facts and there are those based more or less on religion.

Maybe this difference +10 and +6 deg is based more on religion than on scientific findings.... This is just a thought from someone who has just the minimum of knowledge on these issues.

So my question to all of you is: Could it actually be possible that it doesn't really matter if you select engine anti ice at +10 or +6? Or is there actually a difference between different engine types and how prone they are to icing?
