Narrative:

I was flying in a C152 with another pilot who was acting as PIC when the aircraft lost power (suspected carburetor icing) and elected to land at the nearest suitable place which was a private airstrip. The pilot landed the aircraft which appeared to sustain no damage. After waiting approximately 1 hour and inspecting the aircraft, no damage was found and the engine appeared to be performing normally. The decision was made to fly the aircraft back to provo airport. The pilot performed a soft field takeoff and the aircraft was flown with no noticed negative handling characteristics or performance limitations. After landing at provo airport, it was determined that the aircraft had suffered minor propeller damage while at full power (during taxi or takeoff from an unimproved surface).

Title: EMER FORCED LNDG PERFORMED AT A PVT ARPT WHEN CARB ICE AFFECTS A C152 ENG. PROP STRIKE ON TAXI OR TKOF 1 HR LATER.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING IN A C152 WITH ANOTHER PLT WHO WAS ACTING AS PIC WHEN THE ACFT LOST PWR (SUSPECTED CARB ICING) AND ELECTED TO LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE PLACE WHICH WAS A PVT AIRSTRIP. THE PLT LANDED THE ACFT WHICH APPEARED TO SUSTAIN NO DAMAGE. AFTER WAITING APPROX 1 HR AND INSPECTING THE ACFT, NO DAMAGE WAS FOUND AND THE ENG APPEARED TO BE PERFORMING NORMALLY. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO FLY THE ACFT BACK TO PROVO ARPT. THE PLT PERFORMED A SOFT FIELD TKOF AND THE ACFT WAS FLOWN WITH NO NOTICED NEGATIVE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS OR PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS. AFTER LNDG AT PROVO ARPT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ACFT HAD SUFFERED MINOR PROP DAMAGE WHILE AT FULL PWR (DURING TAXI OR TKOF FROM AN UNIMPROVED SURFACE).
