Perform a sideslip to keep the flames away from the fuel tank and cabin.

ICING
INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER
1. Turn pitot heat switch ON .
2. Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less
conducive to icing.
3. Pull cabin heat control full out and open defroster outlets to obtain maximum
windshield defroster airflow. Adjust cabin air control to get maximum defroster
heat and airflow.
4. Open the throttle to increase engine speed and minimize ice buildup on the
propeller blades.
5. Watch for signs of induction icing and apply alternate air as required. An
unexplained loss in engine speed could be caused by induction system ice or
air intake filter ice. Lean the mixture for maximum RPM if alternate air
is used
continuously.
6. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice build up
select a suitable :J effairport :::J landing site.
7. With an ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on the wing leading edges, be
prepared for significantly higher stall speed.
8. Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build up on the horizontal tail, the
change in wing wake airflow direction caused by wing flap extension could
result in a loss ofelevator effectiveness.
9. Open leftwindow and, if practical, scrape ice from a portion ofthe windshield
for visibility in the landing approach.
10. Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary, for improved
visibility.
11 .Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the amount of accumulation.
12. Perform a landing in level attitude.

AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION OR LOSS OF POWER
Induction System Icing
A gradual loss of RPM and eventual engine roughness may result from the
formation
of ice at the inlet to the fuel injector or on the air filter. To clear the ice,
apply full throttle and pull the alternate air control knob (heated air) full out until
the engine runs smoothly; then return the alternate air control to the full in
positi
on and readjust the throttle. If conditions require the continued use of
alternate air in cruise flight, use the full amount
of alternate airto prevent ice
from forming and lean the mixture for the smoothest engine operation.

Zero Wind
LEANING WITH AN EGT GAGE.
The exhaust gas temperature (EGT) may be used as an aid for mixture leaning
in cruising flight at 75% power or less.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
FLIGHT OPERATIONS
The Alternate air control provides an alternate path for induction airto enter the
engine. This alternate air is also heated to provide a means to eliminate
induction system ice that collects on the air impact tubes of the throttle body.
NOISE CHARACTERISTICS AND NOISE REDUCTION
The certificated noise level for the 172R at 2550 pounds maximum weight with
the Lycoming I0-360-L2A engine rated at 180 Hp with eitherthe 1A170/CFA or
