Probable cause
The pilot’s failure to use carburetor heat in environmental conditions favorable for serious carburetor ice during a prolonged wait with the engine at a low power setting before takeoff, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power due to carburetor ice. Also causal was the pilot’s failure to recognize degraded engine performance during the extended takeoff roll and abort the takeoff.
