DMI har på foranledning af Havarikommissionen for Civil Luftfart og Jernbane (HCLJ) udarbejdet en rapport vedr. ”Carburettor Icing-probability” baseret på mere end 20 års radiosondedata. Rapporten er benævnt ”Technical Report 04-25 Carburettor Icing-probability” Blandt rapportens konklusioner kan følgende to nævnes: Citat Generally the probability of carburettor icing is highest during the summer months, Citat slut Citat The use of the carburettor icing chart requires knowledge of air temperature and dew point and these data are only available (to the pilot) at ground levels. Forecasting air temperature and dew point at various flight levels is not possible, as variations in three dimensions and time are very complex. Therefore, the pilot focus should not be on the temperature, the dew point, the relative humidity nor the carburettor icing chart. The focus should primarily be on timely and routinely monitoring engine performance (RPM & Manifold Pressure) followed by proper and consequent use of carburettor heating. Citat slut |
