Remember it's icy, though, and listen to what the instructor says about airframe and carburettor ice
- I know that you know what I'm about to say, but felt it worth pointing out to the less experienced readers that Carb Icing can happen in any season, not just winter!!

I was as surprised as any to find when flying in Brunei (OAT 34 deg C but up to 98% RH), carb icing is a major issue.

Not trying to pick a flame war - just not wanting to permit some of the studes reading this to think that carb icing is a winter only thing!
