Yep Glf currently it is normally dark of the clock when Preparing the ac . MJ, no egg sucking involved all advise in this game is always received well , i'm not RYR , but aside from the usual de-ice checks prior to depsrture when in freezing imc i tend to cycle boots 3 or 4 times in the climb for that very purpose . That said as glf pointed out they generally leak like sieves anyway and 30 mins at alt will normallly freeze them up good whatever you do . That said we all know this when operating such craft and like most AOC's we cope admirably , and when we dont the nice atc people let us come down to where it toastie and alls well , glf boring it may be but ill bet your pay check looks betterthan when you flew a chiefy :-) need any crew ????
