As a former ATR driver, I have to take offense to that statement. The ATR was and still is certified for known icing. It is not certified for severe icing; nor is any aircraft. The ATR was never dangerous in icing. If you are talking about the one icing event to judge the ATR on, remember that they were holding in severe icing with the flaps down. The CA was in the back talking to the flight attendant and the FO was listening to rock music on the ADF. Who was responsible for the crash: the ATR or the pilots?
