Carb Icing with FE

[bobsk8]

I was flying today and started getting a clicking sound. I hit the shift 2 key and it said I had carb icing. I saw the 4 switches for carb anti ice, and I flipped them on, the clicking stopped and eventually the message went away. My question is, who is supposed to handle the operation of those switches, the PIC or the FE?

FE should apply carb heat first and switches are a last resort. I've had to turn the switches on myself but I'm pretty certain they are the FE's responsibility. I know there were some icing issues identified and being worked on for the update.

Thanks.

FE running the carbs really cold and ignoring icing is a known issue, and will be resolved in the next update, along with a few other minor bugs. As a precaution, whenever you fly into icing conditions make sure you manually turn on the anti ice pumps. They only need to be on for a minute or so to get rid of the ice. FE will, however, turn on wing and prop deice switches when flying in icing conditions.

There's another thread for this issue already:
