[quoteThe certification of light aircraft engines requires that the makers prove they can be run at full power with full carb heat on under any normal circumstances and so there is no reason to prevent you, in the event of a go around, from simply applying full throttle and then selecting carb heat off. If conditions warrant carb heat on final then I firmly believe it should stay on until you have landed and vacated the runway.][/quote]
PISTONS, do you do this?(keep the carb heat on till vacated) And how are you gauging "if conditions warrant carb heat" are you basing it on preflight weather reports and/or personal observations or pre landing OAT and visual cloud conditions or is there other factors you take into consideration when deciding to hold the heat on all the way down?
