Narrative:THE STUDENT PILOT WAS CRUISING AT 2500 FEET, WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGHLY. CARBURETOR HEAT WAS USED AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO LOSE POWER. THE STUDENT MADE A FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD, AND THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER WHEN SOFT TERRAIN WAS ENCOUNTERED. THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE WAS REPORTED AS 83 DEGREES F, AND THE DEW POINT WAS 60 DEGREES F. THE FAA CHART, 'CONDITIONS FAVORING CARB ICE FORMATION,' SHOWS THE PROBABILITY OF 'SERIOUS ICING AT CRUISE POWER' WITH THESE TEMPERATURES.
