Aaaah, BJ. I see!
I am being taught I should do T's & P's, on climbout @ 300ft, (though it won't hurt to look more frequently) and carb heat, (being cold from take-off) thought needn't be checked and turned hot until turning base, before reducing power and starting descent. Instruments I'm checking constantly... as well as looking out! I'm told do do BUMFH checks as soon as turned downwind. So which method would be correct or are both? (Sorry to hijack)
