Full disclosure, I have only a one hour demo flight in a Caravan on a totally VFR day. Now my question, we were looking to buy a Caravan, {which we didnt finsh up buying} and when the sales person was questioned about flight into known iceing he/she made a statement to the effect that the version with "Weeping fluid" {TKS} system had no problems with moderate iceing and was in fact FIKI certified. Has anyone flown this model and if so how is it in ice? Aircraft sales persons all seem to wear rose tinted specs when it comes to such statements!
