Thanks Clare. For the most part I wouldn't disagree, and just to avoid the thread turning into a carb heat argument
here's one that probably manages that well enough :-)
However that's not to say it
couldn't have had icing and the pilot - especially if it were his first solo experience - may have simply forgotten about the possibility and what to do. My point, perhaps somewhat poorly made late at night, was not so much about a specific alternative cause, rather it was intended to be a gentle suggestion that one should avoid leaping to a single conclusion to the exclusion of other possibilities on the basis of extremely limited information.
tossbag , quite.
