Excuse my ignorance, but...........
It seems a recurring theme in aircraft accidents is failure to turn on the de-icing system in icing conditions, with occasionally disastrous results.
Why is de-icing not permanently "on"? Does the de-icing system cause problems if used in non-icing conditions? Obviously I'm missing something here, what is it?
