Close call with engine failure in IMC

It seems that there must be an error on the chart since it doesn't show
icing for pressure carburetors from 80% to 100% RH. I assume that it was an
error made when the chart was converted to color.

Thanks Dave! I have always wondered if the susceptibility of preasure
carburetors, like the one in my Helio, to carb icing was different than
for float-type carburetors. Now that I see that it is, the question is
"Why?

I dunno. I just happened to have the link. I have no knowledge beyond
that. I'd be interested in the answer, too. There are some references on
the web page.

Carburator icing is most likely to happen between +5 and - 15° Celcius
