Can someone explain this in layman's terms? This is interesting to me but I've lost the meaning in the jargon. TBM? "Descend into icing"? IFR hours?

- sokoloff 8y agoTBM-a brand of single engine turboprop airplane. Descend into icing-you don’t pickup ice in clear air. You don’t pickup ice below about -20C generally. You can be in a situation where you climbed through an icing or possible icing layer and above it are not in danger of picking up ice. If you have to descend back into it and linger, you may need to. IFR hours-Instrument Flight Rules; controlling and navigating without visual references.
