Our misinformed previous poster, SNS3Guppy, is clearly unable to actually read and understand the original post....here it is, the applicable part....
I need advice from experienced PT6 (King Air E90 especially) operators on the use of windscreen anti ice and ice deflectors.
Looks like the gentleman wants specific information on the E90 King Air..
The referenced TCDS was noted, and ice deflectors are not mentioned.
That performance data might exist for their use is not an issue...the original poster asked for advice...not a disertation about other aircraft, PT-6 engines in general, or their use on other aircraft.
Modifications by STC?
Nope, he didn't ask about those, either.
IE: RTFQ.
Now, about FAA inspectors.
Interpretation of the regulation is not, and has never been within the scope of authority of an inspector at the FSDO level.
Wrong again.
I will give an example.
An applicant applies for a large aircraft type rating.
The FAA Inspector examines the applicant and finds him lacking in ability.
The Inspector issues a notice of disapproval.
Therefore, the inspector has clearly interpreted the specific regulation and issued a denial.
Done all the time...in many other areas FAA Inspectors are concerned with, as well.
Our friend, SNS3Guppy, appears to be unable to answer a specific question, then argues with those who can.
Similar to...being asked 'what time is it', then going on to describe how a clock works.
