A page or two ago she said the proposition is now to use a C182 with TKS deice as a non-certified system, as there is no certification available for this system on the 182.
Avanti. It's nuts, don't do it. Any of a hundred things could happen that would present the system from doing its job. If you need a longer list of potential problems than the few items I listed, let me know and I will give them. Even if it were certified, you shouldn't launch into known ice with it.
