Is the SR22 cleared for known icing? - I didn't know that.

Diamond knew exactly what they were doing when they sold the DA40-180 avgas version only in the USA.
And this is a fine aeroplane...flies very well and the XL version cruises at 150 kts at 9 USG per hour. Coupled with WAAS enabled synthetic vision and you have a really great IFR machine.

Maybe it is a EU/US thing bit all the Diamonds I have flown in the USA are amazing pieces of kit, extremely well made and people are still buying them.
