I had one mission flying the Cessna 172 Skyhawk where ATC asked me to climb to 22,000 feet but the Skyhawk has a service ceiling of around 13,000 feet and no oxygen.

Also have had flights with the Skyhawk in icing conditions which the Skyhawk is not equipped to fly through.

Yep. Same here. Just stalled and crashed my C172 on a passenger mission. Was already icing up on the runway then I was obliged to request an IFR flight for some reason and ATC sent me up to 8000ft and denied my request for a lower altitude. It gradually got worse then just spun out of control with the passengers shrieking at me! :smiley:

• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• c172 missions constantly exposed to icing conditions which the plane cannot handle. Not to mention directed altitudes, winds, etc. Really enjoy it otherwise but this takes away from it significantly.
