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.

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.
