- airspeed 120 km/h
- trim trim
- landing site selection select
Check situation, if master switch and ignition are on and fuel valve is
open, continue according to procedure 3.2. (in-flight engine start) or by
emergency landing according to procedure 3.1.2 (if the engine cannot
be started up).
3.1.4. Carburettor icing
- airspeed 140 km/h (optimal)
- throttle try to find RPM with smallest loss of power
- leave the icing area (if possible)
- after 1-2 minutes increase slowly engine power to cruise speed
- when engine power is not recovered, land on the nearest airfield or

- throttle idle (when choke is activated), 1/3 of
travel otherwise.
- ignition on
- starter start up
- if the engine cannot be started up (not enough power from battery),
increase the airspeed to 150-170 km/h to rotate the propeller to
support the engine starting.
