I guess I agree with dhc8fo, although I couldnt fight my may out of a wet paper sack and I dought I could shoot him based on the fact the only way I would shoot a gun at another perseon is over my shoulder as Im running away (I learned that in the first Gulf War) I do know this.....Corporate de-iceing is not as structured or monitered as it maybe it should be....and at some airports it is non-existent...I hear guys talk all the time..."I know exactley how much snow can be on my wings and still be fine"....."its too much hassle"
"it costs too much"...."lets just smooth out the frost with our gloves and it should be fine, what about the tail sir?...hmmm no ladder, oh it should be ok"
The fact is a lot of corporate jets dont get de-iced when they should (some do) a lot dont!!! Its all part of that Part 91 flying.....Im not so sure but what Part 91 could use a little tweaking. I do know that the flight was a charter so it didnt fall under part 91, but still. Before the corporate guys start dogging me I was once corporate turned airline turned back to corporate (01 was a bad year)
