    Ice equipment necessary for middle altitude flying?

    I don’t have any particular reason to fly that high but if I bought something that shined at those altitudes where sub freezing temperatures are almost a certainty then it seems to me to be pertinent to be equipped to deal with icing even if it’s just in passing.
