Carburetor HeatON as required
NOTEContinuous engine operation with carburetor heat on is not recommended due to the decrease in engine efficiency. If severe icing conditions require extended use of carburetor heat the engine mixture should be leaned during use of carburetor heat.

DefrostersOPEN
EngineINCREASE RPM
(do not exceed red line) and periodically change RPM to minimize ice buildup on propeller blades.
Turn back or change altitude to obtain outside air conditions that are less likely to cause icing.EXECUTE
If icing continues plan a landing at the nearest airport. Under extremely rapid icing conditions select a suitable emergency landing site.EXECUTE

Icing (continued) icing

WARNINGWith an ice accumulation on or near the wing leading edges a higher stalling speed may be expected. Plan all maneuvers accordingly.
Airspeed – If possible increase airspeed and fly at a higher than normal cruise speed until a landing is begun.EXECUTE
Approach for landing at a higher airspeed than normal depending on amount of ice accumulation.EXECUTE
