Probable cause
The pilot’s failure to use carburetor heat in conditions conducive to the formation of carburetor ice, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Contributing to the outcome was her failure to attain a proper touchdown point during the subsequent diversionary landing, which resulted in a runway excursion.
