  1. Actually, most if not all aircraft are shutdown with the mixture/condition lever.  You can shutdown a piston aircraft with the magneto switch I suppose but that is not the recommended procedure.  If the magneto is always "live" (mechanical issue) you will not shut it down using the magnetos therefore cutoff is used.  A turbine engine has ignition only during starting, and when deice is turned on, it can be compared to as a blow torch. Ignition to light the fire, fuel feeds the fire till fuel is cut off (condition lever).

  2. I have been flying through icing for many flights now, pitot heat and prop deice seem to work.  Wing/tail deice do not.

     

    Thank you for looking into this.

  3. Will wing/tail deice ever be implemented animation and icing that affects the performance of the aircraft?

     

    Also, in the attached picture the prop deice element (circled in red) is backwards.  I see that in the correct location there is a grey strip, maybe that was intended to be the element?
