[QUOTE=pilotmike;11553632]From Robinson's own SN-25, Issued Dec 1986, Updated July 2012:



@bvgs:

As the yellow arc is -20 degC to +5 degC or so (from memory), it seems you were operating well beyond normal operating conditions and sudden engine failure initially masked by governor operation was a distinct possibility. Some might disagree with you and call that quite a big deal.[/QUOTE

As I was hover taxing I was keeping my eye on it and as it started to continue I applied carb heat thus stating I continued to progress using the down draft for the reduced power. So there was never any chance of any significant ice build up never mind engine stoppage. Flying a Raven II normally I had forgotten how much of a thing it was this the post.
