Cold Weather

Cold weather flying requires extensive knowledge of the weather conditions that can cause airframe icing. Icing is very hazardous to small aircraft. Many of the Cirrus aircraft are equipped with TKS ice protection systems. The innovative glycol-based anti-ice solution is delivered via durable titanium panel ‘weeping wing’ micro-hole technology. Unlike lesser systems, TKS provides a clean solution to the prevention and removal of airframe icing. A slinger ring also directs TKS fluid onto the propeller, preventing ice build-up and keeping your windshield clear for a safe approach and landing. Platinum instructors can teach you how to safely fly during cold, winter, IFR conditions.
