One of those tools is TKS. My Cirrus is equipped with this anti/de-icing solution. Its limits, however, are very real, and the risks associated with icing are just as real. In this case, the fluid, slung over the windshield by the prop, kept the light rime from forming on an unanticipated encounter.

I really think you should rave about TKS deice systems. It is the best thing to ever happen to small airplanes that fly in the ice prone areas of the country. I flew a Bonanza for 5 years with TKS, rarely canceled due to ice. It is fantastic system. Your pictures are very good to show those who have never been in ice.
There is a new NASA course that is free and covers icing very well. It explains many of these pictures and is great for those who do not often have to deal with or plan for icing.
