10.1. UNINTENTIONAL FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS
Carburettor ice is possible when flying at low engine rpm in visi-
ble moisture (outside visibility less than 5 km, vicinity of fog, mist,
clouds, rain, snow or hail) and OAT less than 10°C.Airbox carbu-
rettor heater is designed to help prevent carburettor ice, less ef-
fectively functions as a de-icing system.
1. Carburettor heating: ON
2. Immediately fly away from icing conditions (changing altitude and direc-
tion of flight, out and below of clouds, visible moisture, precipitations)
3. Controls surfaces: continue to move to keep free from ice build up
4. Throttle speed: increase rpm.
5. Cabin heat: ON
In case of ice formation on wing leading edge, stall speed could
highly increase and stall may become asymmetric. In case of sta-
bilator ice accretion it may lose its efficiency, leading to aircraft
pitch up response and loss of control.
