You would not believe what we can throw at you in your type of aircraft. We had a pilot who asked us if we could set up his aircraft and show him how it would act in icing. Even though the aircraft had deice and anti ice he was shocked how precarious the flight parameters were when his aircraft was loaded with ice. We were also able to work with him on staying out of ice and controlling his plane if he got into ice.

We try to schedule to accommodate all pilots so please try to let us know as soon as you can about the need for insurance training.
