GE and CW I am glad you understand and thanks for sticking up for me. I am a bit disappointed that someone actually came up to the original CW and told him the post is a load of crap.
Professional aviators probably don't want to read these kinds of posts - hence why I posted it in Wanabees and not in tech log or anywhere else.
I was unsure of something I had been told and would have liked to hear opinions on dealing with icing from more experienced wanabees or professionals who look on wanabees and therefore don't mind giving advice.
If someone came to me at work and asked me a question about something and they were totally wrong but were just repeating or going off what they had been told I would not say that is a 'load of crap'. As a professional I would be glad that they had the sense to go and ask someone for advice, as they were unsure. I would then (if I knew) tell them the correct way of doing things as everyone needs to learn and you only learn by asking.
To all the professional aviators (particularly those who had a go at the original) who were annoyed by my crap posting I apologise and assure you that I shall refrain from posting anything in the future that asks for advice on something I am unsure about.
Sorry for the outburst but most of us on here are here to learn, pick up tips and ask advice, probably why it’s called wanabees not professional experienced aviators forum!!
P.S If anyone can tell me what to do in extreme icing I would really appreciate it or am I taking the piss now!!
