Boots and Icing only mix when

Boots and icing only mix when you are wearing the boots on your feet while doing a walkaround inspection looking for ice.

IT IS NOW TIME TO GET RID OF BOOTS in all planes or severely limit those types to trace or light icing exposure for less than 2 minutes.

WHILE Icing can bring down any plane, it seems that heated wings/airfoils are the way to go.

OR make the airfoil so robust aerodynamically as not to need anti-ice.

I guess there should be a ice detector on the tailplane!!!!!!
