CAV recently received FIKI approval for the Bonanza G36, Cessna Caravan and Quest Kodiak. CAV’s TKS systems provide anti-icing protection by exuding a measured amount of glycol-based ice protection fluid through precision laser-drilled microscopic holes in wing leading edges fashioned of titanium. There is also a dispersion mechanism for propellers.
