on climb out, he strangely asked to avoid all clouds. he was picking up icing. i asked if his de-ice was working, to which he replied no. climbed him to 37,000', allowing him to spin his way up instead of staying on course. once he got up there, he was still concerned about icing and his engine performance. then said one of his engines lost power, declared an emergency. asked if he wanted to go to palm springs (closest airport) but instead wanted to go back to LAX. makes sense...more chance for MX there. never a dull day.
