Carburetor

ice,

as

evidenced

by

an

drop

in

RPM,

can

be

removed

by

application

of

full

heat.

Upon

regaining

the

origi-

nal

RPM

(with

heat

off),

use

the

minimum

amount

of

heat

(by

trial

and

error)

to

prevent

ice

from

forming.

Since

the

heated

air

causes a richer

mixture,

readjust

the

mixhire

setting

when

carburetor

heat

is

to

be

used

continuously

in

cruise

The

use

of

full

carburetor

heat

is

recommended

during

flight

in

very

heavy

rain

to

avoid

the

possibility

of

engine

stoppage

due

to

The
