Thanks for all tips guys! I have recently picked up the ASA book, and its a very interesting read.

How effective are the boots on the 208?

Keeping them clean and dressed helps a ton. (Boot dressing is kinda like Armour All, makes the boots look shinny and makes them less sticky to water and ice)

The best thing about the 'Van is straight wing so you don't need to worry about Mach Tuck ;)

Great airplane, lot of fun. Doesn't really care for ice, but can take quite a bit.
If you have any ice, don't get slow...keep that speed up and you'll be fine.

Congrats and fly safe.

Van
 
And with G600, synthetic vision and TKS we fly them in really bad weather. They are pretty amazing haulers.

The TKS works real good in icing right up until it doesn’t. THAT’S when it gets interesting. There are a lot of good ‘turbine suburban encountered icing’ mishap investigations in the NTSB database. You need to read every one of them.

TKS
 
You clearly do not fly out of Spokane in the winter and as such are in error.

Thank you for proving my point. Those little black things are called “boots”. When you find one that had TKS we can talk. Spinner looks fine to me.
