Skymasters are not certified for flight into known iceing conditions. None of them are. Continued flight into known iceing can get you in trouble.

HOWEVER, if you inadvertently find your self in icing, having boots is a great thing. I have found my self in such a situation, and it was good to be able to blow the ice off.

At the same time, I have been in icing, and properly, requested lower, and got it, to avoid ice. I crossed lake michigan at 4K, going east, because we were picking up ice at 5K.

I have also landed with ice still on the airframe, but had been able to keep flying because the boots kept it off the wing.
