Subject: KR> Flight Report
Went to the airport today after work. Fueled the plane, preflighted her and
got airborne at 5pm. The flight was just a basic local lazy type of flight
with long slow turns and never getting above 3500' and I stayed within about
10 miles of the airport. I was just truly enjoying the view of the beautiful
trees below which happen to be in their full fall colors right now. What a
sight to behold!!!. At about 40 minutes into the flight, I noticed the
engine began running a little rough so I changed rpm settings and that did
not seem to help. I noticed the rpm begin to slowly drop. Hmmmm, could this
be carb ice? I applied carb heat and about thirty seconds later she started
running smooth again. The temp outside was 43° with a dew point of 39° and
relative humidity of 87%. Now that adds up to carb ice potential. I fly with
an Ellison EFS-3A. The rest of the flight was uneventful and was after the
sun set. I greased in a night landing for my log books.
