The emergency landing was precipitated by a rough running engine. The pilot, suspecting carburetor icing, pulled the carburetor heat. The engine ran smoother then deteriorated, losing power.

Maintenance personnel inspected the aircraft and engine in the field and determined it was safe for flight. The aircraft was flown from the field to its home base where maintenance personnel again inspected the airframe and performed further tests on the engine. No defects were noted.
