Old Not Bold,
So what's wrong with good practice? And can you casually put carb ice discussions to one side?
Twas my text you were quoting. There are two sides to this, fear of engine failure and so ensuring you can reach the field or just doing glide approaches for good practice. I wasn't dissing good practice, I was trying to home in on what I thought 18G was getting at: that we should do glide approaches just in case like they did on the old days. That is what I was questioning the logic of as I explained in my usual obfuscated manner. If you want to do it for practice then feel free, I don't see any reason why not, it is good fun for a start and I didn't mean to imply otherwise
With regard to carb ice, I really couldn't be bothered trying cover every possible nitty gritty angle, CH is a relevant to some but not to other pistons in different ways to greater or lesser extents
