3.8.1 Vibration
If any forced aircraft vibrations appear, it is necessary:
1. To set engine speed to such power rating where the vibrations are
lowest.
2. To land on the nearest airfield or to perform a precautionary landing
according to 3.6.2.
3.8.2 Carburetor
icing
Carburetor icing mostly occurs when entering into an area of ice formation.
The carburetor icing shows itself through a decrease in engine power and
an increase of engine temperatures.
To recover the engine power, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Speed
- 120 km/h (
65 KIAS
)
2. Throttle
- set to 1/3 of power
3. If possible, leave the icing area
4. Increase the engine power gradually up to cruise conditions after 1-2
minutes
If you fail to recover the engine power, land on the nearest airfield (if
possible) or depending on the circumstances, perform a precautionary
landing according to 3.6.2.
