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.
I stated that the TKS works well, right up until it doesn't. And ice can certainly accrete in areas the TKS doesn't cover. Don't get me wrong, I actually LIKED flying the Turbine Suburban. But the aircraft does have a ckeckered history with icing, and I think that anyone newly assigned to the aircraft ought to familiarize themselves with that history.
