3.3.13 INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER

WARNING
THIS AIRCRAFT IS NOT APPROVED FOR FLIGHT
INTO KNOWN ICING.
FLIGHT INTO KNOWN ICING CONDITIONS IS
PROHIBITED.
CAUTION
Ice accumulation on the wings and other airframe
components will greatly increase the stall speed of
the airplane and result in unpredictable flight
characteristics.
Ice accumulation over engine induction air inlet can
cause engine roughness and/or loss of power.
Ice formations on the propeller may cause severe
propeller/engine vibrations.
Ice accumulation over the pitot tube may cause
erroneous airspeed indications.
Ice build-up on the windshield will distort vision and
probably obscure forward visibility.
At first indication of encountering icing conditions
Carburetor Heat ...................................................... On (Hot)
If ice continues to cause reduced power:
Throttle ........................................................................... Full
Climb at maximum rate to produce as much heat as
possible to aid in clearing the ice.
Fly toward warmer air, clear of visible moisture and/or
descend to lower altitude (if safe to do so).
If condition persists, proceed with emergency descent
(Section 3.3.9) and prepare for an emergency landing
without engine power (Section 3.3.4).
