Default The Fixes from the FAA and NTSB

You are welcome SuperD...

If you think there are a lot of accidents in this plane; Take a Look at what the fixes are from the Feds!!!

Lets put a big light in the cockpit to tell a pilot to watch the airspeed in icing. WHAT A CONCEPT - AIRSPEED Hmm...
Lets put more placards in the plane to make sure the pilot can read the limitations section of the plane - instead of remembering them
Lets put on more de-ice boots on the gear and pod
Lets make the POH 2 inches thicker with things we already should know as pilots, that inspires pilots to read it more often
Lets make training mandatory because some pilots can't find the time to read and understand the S1 supplement
Lets make the FAA make AD's to address the operating procedures of a plane that some pilots should already know
Lets teach pilots to understand that ICING is HAZARDOUS even though we have known it since the 1930's
Lets not fly with the autopilot on when in severe icing.
Lets make the FAA mandate to pilots that a good weather briefing is needed before each flight
Lets make the NTSB make documents to explain how dangerous icing is to all planes
Lets make the NTSB make warnings that taking off with ice on the wings is dangerous
Above all lets put a TKS system on the plane and try to make this plane bullet proof, it won't happen about the bullet proofing

Until we as pilots make better choices the above list won't make any difference...

On and On
