Unfortunately, at that time one of our brethren pilots caused me find
out
the exact answer to this question. The rule is FAR 91.9 - "Civil
Aircraft
Flight Manual, Marking, and Placard Requirements," paragraph (a). It
says,
in short, "... no person may operate a civil aircraft without complying
with
the operating limitations specified in ...." a Flight Manual specific to
the
aircraft, by markings or placards, or ".... otherwise prescribed by the
certificating authority." Most light aircraft (i.e., Cessna 172s) have
either a specific placard and/or a mention in the operating handbook
that
flight into known icing is forbidden. The unhappy pilot in question is
facing a violation for operating contrary to the operating limitations
of
the aircraft by flying into icing conditions he knew existed (by virtue
of a
briefing).

So my 1949 Bonanza that was certified under CAR 3 (I think that was
what it was called before we got part 21 or 23 or what ever it currently
is). It has no placards or verbage in the POH mentioning icing anywhere.
Therefore I am perfectly legal getting into known icing?

It would be rather stupid of me, but according to this referance I would
be legal?
