Charlie Foxtrot India - that's what I teach. The risk of serious carb icing forming after completing the pre-landing checks is less important than the need to have full power available for a go-around!! And, Capt Homesick, no disrespect intended, I reckon that the idea of the late final acronym is a bit OTT. I note that it doesn't include a check of feet off brakes......?? The RAF used to teach some nonsense at the multi-engine AFTS of including "The 4 asymmetric checks" on final. These were 'Runway clear, gear down, stable approach, clearance to land'. What on earth was 'asymmetric' about these check items?? I once asked the CFS Canberra agent this - he couldn't explain!!
