I have looked into the FIKI issue for the 231, and from what I can tell the problem is an inability to add a second alternator to the 231.  FIKI certification appears to require redundant alternators so if one goes out, the deicing pump will continue to run on the second alternator.  The 231 has a direct drive alternator (rather than a belt drive) and there is apparently no practical way to add a second.
