ROLLA, MO, USA

Aircraft #1

N9017T

CESSNA 182C

Analysis

THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH ENROUTE AND PILOT WAS ABLE TO GET IT RUNNING SMOOTHLY BUT HE CONTINUED TO HIS DESTINATION. AIRPLANE WAS TOO HIGH ON APPROACH SO PILOT WENT AROUND. ON DOWNWIND, ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AGAIN AND PILOT WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HE DID NOT TRY CARBURETOR HEAT. PILOT TURNED ACFT TOWARD RUNWAY, CLEARED TREES BUT STALLED ACFT. ACFT WAS RECOVERED FROM STALL JUST BEFORE GROUND IMPACT. TEMPERATURE/DEW POINT AT TIME GIVES EXCELLENT POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS CARBURETOR ICING AT CRUISE POWER.
