Especially in the context that you initially offered it. Just because your engine has failed completely, and due only to carb ice, doesn't mean you can't save you bacon with carb heat. Furthermore, a windmilling engine can be very helpful in supplying the time (and circulation) required to do so without having to rely on the battery or starter. Can I assure everyone that they will ALWAYS be able to clear a frozen carb with just carb heaT? Hell no. But that has zero to do with the disussion, WINDMILLING. So, where do you think the carb heat comes from in a windmilling engine that has stopped firing because carb ice has completely iced over the fuel nozzle? Have you ever worked on an airplane and seen how the carb heat works? Do you think it's electric or something? You seem to think that within 10 seconds of loosing power from an carb ice condition, that the engine and heat exchanger on the exhaust have cooled to the point that it's impossible for them to deice the carb. And the simply is not true, and I have proven that many times while actually flying in winter conditions. |
