On July 23, 2021, about 1520 central daylight time, an Aeronca 7AC airplane, N83365, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Harrah, Oklahoma. The pilot and pilot-rated-passenger sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.
The pilot and pilot-rated-passenger departed in an airplane that did not have a carburetor heat control installed. After takeoff, the engine surged several times and then lost partial power. The pilot completed a forced landing to a field and nosed over; the airplane sustained substantial damage to the horizontal stabilizer and rudder. The atmospheric conditions at the time of the accident were conducive to the development of serious carburetor icing at glide and cruise power. Given the available evidence, it is likely that carburetor ice accumulated during the flight and resulted in a loss of engine power. It is likely that use of carburetor heat would have prevented the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s decision to fly the airplane without a carburetor heat control in atmospheric conditions conducive to the development of serious carburetor icing, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power.
