ICING -- INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER 1. Turn pitot heat switch ON (if installed) 2. Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conducive to icing 3. Pull cabin heat control full out and rotate defroster control clockwise to obtain maximum defroster airflow 4. Increase engine speed to minimize ice build-up on propeller blades 5. Watch for signs of carburetor air filter ice and apply carburetor heat as required. An unexplained loss in manifold pressure could be caused by carburetor ice or air intake filter ice. Lean the mixture if carburetor heat is used continuously. 6. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice build-up, select a suitable “off airport” landing site 7. With an ice accumulation of ¼ inch or more on the wing leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher stall speed 8. Leave wing flaps retracted. With a sever ice build-up on the horizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow direction caused by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevator effectiveness] 9. Open the window and if practical scrape ice from a portion of the windshield for visibility in the landing approach 10. Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary for improved visibility 11. Approach at 85 to 95 KIAS, depending upon the amount of ice accumulation 12.
