I owned this plane in the late 90's. It was a very fast 231. I can see they upgraded the avionics and interior. Not many 231's are equipped this well.

Even though your plane is technically not approved for flight into known icing, you have a very weather capable system that I would try and preserve. The correct strip has micro holes in it to disperse the deicing fluid. As far as flying without the strip, I have lost three over the years (you would think I would learn by now) and went the duct tape over the tube route while the part was on order. I just did not use the system at all during those periods and avoided icing.

Frank For me it depends as much on the weather at the arrival airport as the length of the runway. I have landed at 2200 ft runways on nice days with no wind or a headwind. I won't go below 2800 ft on any type of approach. There was a recent thread at basing a Bravo at a 2500 ft airport and it is a good read Gordon

As a Bravo pilot, I have flown into a 2200 ft runway but it is not some place I would be want to be based at. Throw in an instrument approach, a cross wind when you want to carry a little more speed, a night landing and so on and you have to be dead nuts on every time in every condition. Not worth it to me.

Buy and fly the best plane you can, as is. With few exceptions, you can buy the plane with the better avionics, engine, paint and interior at a lot less cost than you can pay someone else to ugrade your bird. If you are an A&P and have time, than go for it.

I have had to have the switches cleaned but also have had hard grease on the jackscrew cause a similiar problem. When I "freed" up the trim by moving it by hand, the electric switch started working again. It is worth cleaning the jackscrew.
