TURN PITOT HEAT SWITCH ON TURN BACK OR CHANGE ALTITUDE to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conducive to icing PULL CABIN HEAT CONTROL FULL OUT AND OPEN DEFROSTER OULETS to obtain maximum windshield defroster airflow. Adjust cabin air control to get maximum defroster heat and airflow Watch for signs of engine-related icing conditions. An unexplained loss in engine speed could be caused by ice blocking the air intake filter, or in extremely rare instances, ice completely blocking the fuel injection air reference tubes. Change the throttle position to obtain maximum RPM. This may require to either advancing or retarding the throttle, dependent on where ice has accumulated in the system. Adjust mixture, as required, for maximum RPM Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice build-up, select a suitable off airport landing site With an ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on the wing leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher stall speed Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe 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. Open left window and, if practical, scrape ice from the portion of the windshield for visibility in the landing approach Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary, for improved visibility. Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the amount of the accumulation Perform a landing in level attitude
