Boy , is that one ever true...
Only problem is , when one is in the earlier stages of ones flying career , it is not easy to differentiate which are which.
My advice to OP : Jon , concentrate principally on being a safe and competent instrument pilot first and foremost .
Only then can you start to focus on the types of aircraft which are approved to handle these types of conditions . Once you are satisfied that your level of competence and the aeroplanes level of equipment are in alignment , then you're making proper progress.
If you subsequently go on to be a career jet-jock , then it'll probably seem a lot more clear cut. Just make sure your nacelle a/ice and wing a/ice switches are in On/Auto .
