Caravan Accidents
Go to the NTSB.gov website and research the 208 accidents. The one where icing may have had a part in the accident, look closely at the reasons. All of them happened due to the pilot operating the plane beyond the limitations of the plane. Pelee Island Caravan accident is a great example, the pilot took off 15 percent over gross weight with ice on the plane and into severe icing conditions. Moscow accident, in severe ice with the autopilot on and never pushed the Power Lever up after the autopilot leveled off at 5000 feet, just stupid stuff like that. I could go on but you look them up and decide. Winnipeg accident, the pilot took off over gross weight into freezing rain with contamination on the wings. Look at the special weather release over the ATIS, 15 min B4 takeoff. Temp -2 and FRZ DRZ. Look for yourself. Then on top of that the pilot never got to minimum speed of 105 KIAS ever. 105 was the min spd in icing and is a limitation on the plane. The Moscow plane was below 105 also. Take Care
