Does this aircraft have any icing clearance whatsoever yet?
Judging by the way NHV are operating the EC175 out of Aberdeen this week it hasn't. With a cloud base of about 900 feet and marginal vis they have been departing and arriving special VFR. That was until last night when they were refused a special VFR clearance into the zone. A climb into icing conditions for an ILS must have felt very uncomfortable for the crew.

Let's hope they don't have an accident due to commercial "enthusiasm" to keep their new customer happy.
