>Fully agree with your comments on the carburetor heat. Should be selected to cold when landing is assured.
I would agree also, BUT for a student, who may not feel assured, what is best to teach them? A longish final with power at idle and no carb heat has landed some 152/172 drivers in the far fence. The accident or incident reports have those wonderful vague comments about engine failure without any mechanical findings.
I wonder if the carb heat issue isn't more safely taught after licensing.
After all a license is only a permit to learn.....
