I can't find anything in the discussion of carb ice in The Lycoming Flyer to
make me think that full throttle somehow obviates carb ice when conditions
are conducive to icing. If ice is forming on the interior of the venturi,
the position of the throttle plate won't make much difference. Lycoming does
say that ice is more likely at low power settings, but I think we all know
that.

Apparently I'm guilty of believing what I was told by instructors without
checking the facts. Carbs can ice any time ambient conditions are right for
it. My tiedown neighbor with a Skylane tells me I'd have figured this out a
long time ago if I had a TCM O-470 182.
