aardvark keeper do you realy set your Carb to cold at 300'!

Seems a bit to early to me and still pleant of chance to carb Ice.

I have always been taught and always do carb to cold on my landing roll, ie just before exit at a taxi way. (In most piston A/C)

This then gives you a G/A sequence of:-

Full Power
Carb Off
Drag Flap away
Pitch 65Kt.

If turning carb off at 300' works I recon it aint a bad idea. Afterall habds up who has not done a G/A with the carb still on and wondered why the A/C is performing badly!

After all a G/A below 300'aal gives a much higher work load.

I am most interested now.
