Incident Details
A student pilot, flying solo, initiated a practice forced landing during a session. The weather conditions were visual meteorological conditions (VMC), with a temperature of 45°F and a dew point of 28°F. These conditions were consistent with serious carburetor icing potential at a glide power setting.
Circumstances
The student pilot attempted to recover from the practice forced landing by simultaneously advancing the throttle and applying carburetor heat. Because the application of carburetor heat was late, carburetor icing formed. As a result, the recovery from the practice forced landing could not be accomplished.
A forced landing was attempted to a road, but vehicular traffic on the road forced the pilot to change landing sites. The airplane subsequently contacted trees and descended out of control to ground impact.
