INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER
Icing conditions are very difficult to predict.
Aviation
Weather Service may predict light, moderate or severe
icing conditions at certain locations and altitudes and no
icing will be encountered. On the other hand, icing
conditions may not be forecast and any of the above
levels of icing may occur.
As indicated above, icing conditions can be encountered
in areas and at altitudes where no icing is forecast.
Under these conditions, immediate action must be taken
to divert from the icing conditions. It may be possible to
descend to a lower, warmer altitude or it may be
necessary to return to an area where no icing is present.
NOTE
Ice is especially prevalent if flying in clouds or visible
moisture. This aircraft is approved for VFR flight only.
If ice build-up becomes evident on the windshield and/or
the lift struts or if engine operation becomes rough, turn
the pitot heat ON and select carburetor air ON (Hot). If
engine operation remains rough, adjust the mixture
control to obtain maximum smoothness.
If engine
operation continues to be rough, it may indicate that ice is
accumulating on the propeller.
