Ice cubes for my whisky...?

I vaguely recall most FAA certificated airplanes to be able to handle light/moderate icing only.
Lots of dust in my CAR 4b and FAR 25 pages...

However would mention that the L-188 Electra could handle "heavy icing".
At least is what I recall vaguely from a classroom discussion 35+ years ago.

Maybe our illustrious 411A can clarify the certification of the superior Lockheed product.

Happy contrails
