@skydumplingppl: At cruise, your engine RPM suddenly drops by 500, then returns to normal. No other indications of an issue. Continue? #decision #aviation #cessna #privatepilot #studentpilot #checkride

do an uncoordinated turn, a little left a little right.. give it a few minutes if it does it again you got water in the gas..if it's getting past the water separator you got a lot of water in there..

Unfortunately where I live it’s so gusty that this is a somewhat normal occurrence. Wind will suddenly starve the engine of air.

Carb heat on, if it drops again, look for a place to land immediately

Depends a bit…if its an older 172 or similar, I check carburator heat and magnetos. If its new (injected) I again check magnetos. If it happens again I return or deviate depending on my route.

I've actually had this happen while flying home at night, over a very dark part of the state. I switched tanks and my rpms dropped. I immediately gave it full throttle and climbed another 1,000ft.

Depending on how close I am to my destination. If I’m close I’ll continue if not I’ll divert somewhere to get it checked out and I’ll really keep an eye on it either way
