Most flight schools are in places where the weather is great, so there's no icing. Anyone ever heard of an aircraft certified for known icing typically used in civilian training? This will be interesting if it actually passes.
I've spent my entire career trying hard to AVIOD icing conditions and I do not have much experience flying in icing conditions either, so am I not qualified to sit right seat in an airliner either then? This seems strange overall, but I guess not so much in light of what event is helping push this bill. Personally, I think it falls short (the 800 hours), but then again compromise is the name of the game.
