Well I don't have any de-ice!
I have been to Exeter and back this morning to collect a part for an aircraft. Airways via SAM, got on top at around FL70 picked up ice on the way as the freezing level was around 2k. Visible build up on the leading edges and struts, quite a bit on the fairing and brakes.
About 5 minutes at FL100 in the cruise and there was nothing left. I picked quite a bit up on the descent and still had some showing at the FAF, nothing by the time I started the descent.
The damn wind was another matter!!!
Flying in icing conditions in inevitable for a pilot flying in the UK in winter, you have to manage it and make sensible decisions not just avoid it like the plague.
I think a lot of the problem is that the club scene makes ice out to be an instant killer.
