Use of carb heat
LJ
At your local VGS the use of carb heat and risks associated with carb icing are covered on EVERY briefing. It's a standard slide and the ambient conditions are plotted to determine the risk. In Northern Europe that's always!
As VX275 said the fuel system was modified from the delivery spec and that largely cured the problem. That mod was, as I recall, due to the tireless efforts of the Sqn Ldr ENG at Syerston who fought to resolve the issue otherwise we would still be sending ghost solos as were in the early 90s.
