There's no way to anti-ice or de-ice a Coupe, so I have no plans to fly in the wx, on purpose.... I dissagree, some of us fly VOR to VOR on cross countries. IFR is basically that. Only that you have no visual reference to the ground. Assuming you climb on top, you have a forward view, which makes IFR not that difficult. The plane never knows that it is in the clouds. As for Coupes not having anti-ice, or de-ice, we dont need it. If there is ice, dont climb into it. If the freezing level is 6,000, then dont go past that. The coupe does have an anti-ice/de-ice piece of equipment though. The carb heat. And the pitot heat can be considered that as well if you have it.
