carb ice de-rated engines
According to the CAA....
"Engines at reduced power settings are more prone to icing because engine induction temperatures are lower. Also, the partially closed butterfly can more
easily be restricted by the ice build-up. This is a particular problem if the engine is de-rated as in many piston-engined helicopters and some aeroplanes."
Looking for information/examples of de-rated engines in piston airplanes.
Thanks
