Summary: The evening flight to Moncton was canceled due to strong gusting winds and unfavorable weather conditions. Other runways in New Brunswick are also affected, and the possibility of running out of fuel is a concern. The decision was made to prioritize safety and wait for better weather conditions the following day.
Aircraft operation is significantly endangered by carburetor icing, which is often unnoticeable to pilots until power loss occurs. Conditions for icing commonly arise at temperatures between 20°F and 65°F with high humidity. Preventive measures include maintaining appropriate air temperatures and monitoring humidity to mitigate the risk of icing effectively during flights.
