Not to tangent too much, but doesn't that regulation regarding
"prohibited flight into known icing conditions" without certified de-ice
equipment loophole old planes? I seem to recall something about if the
POH for the aircraft does not say the magic words, "Flight into icing
conditions prohibited," then it's not illegal.

Right. The prohibition is not in the FARs, it's in the aircraft's
airworthiness certificate. The POH is derived from the airworthiness
certificate.

No, the prohibition is in the FARs--specifically, 91.527, quoted in my
previous note in this thread.
