6.6 ICING
Inadvertent icing encounter:
1. Turn pilot 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 to obtain maximum defrosting tempera-
ture
4. Open the throttle to increase engine speed and minimize ice build-up
on propeller blades
5. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. In case none available, select a
suitable off airport landing
6. With an ice accumulation of 0.4in. or more on the wing leading edge,
be prepared for significantly higher stall speed
7. Approach at 65 to 70 kts/81 mph depending upon the amount of ice
accumulation
8. Perform a landing in level attitude.
