Thanks for the chart, Paul.
I suggest we all download a copy of the Chart for posting at our
airports.....
Continentals are prone to icing more than Lycomings. I think due to the
fact the air inlets in a Lycoming pass thru the oil sump, warming the air -
helping to reduce the carb ice potential.
I have recently experienced icing in my C-85 at cruise in humid
weather......first time in the last couple of years...I expect the conditions
were just right - humidity, temperature, dew point....Application of Carb heat
quickly cured the decrease in rpm, and loss of power....
