You have to take a yearly internet test written by the Cessna engineers. It is a mandatory test before you can fly into icing conditions. If I remember, it is 3 parts and takes about an hour to complete. To sum it up, you need to exit the icing conditions ASAP! That is the bottom line. So best of luck staying between the MEA and 10,000 ft, doing 120 kts with a thick wing over the Appalachian Mountains. The good news is that ATC will usually work with you in your situation.
