Wow, this is excellent video. I like that you bring the POH and read from it. I learn a lot from your videos!

[@HelicopterGround]

Glad you like them!

One really important thing you said there - 'the fuel nozzles are there as the low pressure sucks the fuel out'. Never twigged that before. I should say I fly in the UK where carb ice is always a possibility.

Thanks for the feedback!

I fly fixed wing but this is applicable knowledge and I know fully understand the carb concept. Very well explained. Thank you

Really helpful video - thank you! My R44 instructor asked me to read up on carb icing / emergency procedures before my 1st solo circuit shortly 🙂

Why do you need low pressure for the fuel to be sucked?? Why can’t it be high pressure?

Great video! I recently read someone taking their private pilot written, and they were given a question, when is carb ice more likely to develop at 70°F with 80% humidity or 80°F with 70% humidity + another option that was a throw away. I’m assuming that an answer with higher humidity would be more likely to develop icing conditions because of the higher relative moisture correct?

[@HelicopterGround]

yes

Why do you need less carb heat (via carb heat assist) when u raise collective?
