Just a nit here...anyone can fly in an area of forecast icing...it is only after a PIREP that ice is actually there is
the known icing present and therefore operations in unapproved aircraft prohibited. Not talking about judgment here...

Not true. Most emphatically not true.

Forecast icing is considered by the FAA to be known icing. There was a
case about it. Google it.
