...not enough to justify the risk associated with flying a single-turbine above (and btw!) the cumulii granitii in icing conditions 
Once heard a chap in one of those things being radar vectored down into a firth - 'cause he was unable to maintain altitude. Ceiling in that region was around 600 ft. - and he didn't seem to be enjoying himself at all
Think very well before joining - and do not underestimate the risk
Best regards fm

M609 
One also remembers arriving into Scumburgh one fine day to find the tail of a Caravan sticking out of the water past the end of rwy 27 - and one seems to remember that one saw an LN-reg (although those letters were submerged and may therefore have been misread)
SOAB - sorry, did not intend to be condescending - just saw & took a chance to state the bleeding obvious (doh!)

Empty Cruise,
Has this just recently happened?
M609,
I`m guessing you`re an ATC dude
And since Empty Cruise touched on the topic;
Is flying a single-engine turboprop safer,more dangerous, or just about as risky as flying a multiengine piston (twin-engine)? This seems to be an issue these days, as there is a proposal to legalize SET IFR with pax within Scandinavia
.
Any takers?

I dont know how big a problem this is in scandinavia, but i dont think there is any less ice in scandinavia.
Any "VAN" pilots that want to tell me how this is done in scandinavia.
