Haven’t had any experience with icing in any Cessna except a 310 but a small amount of rime ice all accumulated on the top of the leading edge and severely reduced the lift of the wing.

In my Saratoga i’ve had 3 of rime ice and it all accumulated eight on the leading edge not hurting the lift, just adding weight.

I currently have a 310, and got it in ice one time over the Rockies. It was fairly benign, picked up about 1” of rime. Made a quick IFR decent into Butte MT.

Pretty hard to encounter ice unless IFR, unless it is freezing rain - very bad. At least it doesn’t distort the airfoil as much.

I hate taking commercial flights when they make a stop at the deicing machine. Happened a lot at the Buffalo Airport. One time we had to go back 3 times and do it.

Hey, I'm here. Guess it works.

But as just a passanger it does not make you feel good.
