-
who wants to fly in a ice cone
-

-
the flying couffin...never fly in this thing... prone to ice up and kill you
-
in hmm. 10 hours i got a flight with a Atr-72 from Bangkok Airways, does anyone know how old the planes are? :O im afraid of turbo props...
-
@budgerigarz I don't know, but I would guess bleed air, since the wing leading edges are painted in light color. De-icing boots are mostly used on smaller turboprop aircraft, since it requires less bleed air = less performance loss.
-
@mnor1960 Do you know if the A400M has de-icing boots or a bleed air system like on jets?
-
@budgerigarz I like turboprops: they're slow but gentler on the environment. Jets are only meant to be used for long-distance international flights.

What's with the girl??? Is this sex appeal or an aircraft ad?
-
@joe9320 Yeah. The C-295 and the A400M too.
Does anyone know if aerospatiale fixed their not-so-good icy system? Sadly a few ATR's were lost 'cause they inefficient Anti-Ice System.

yes indeed,,,,,
ATR has made many changes in design and procedures to deal with the icing issues
they put a lot of stress on ICING avoidence training its ICING SAFE as long as the CORRECT procedure is followed,
