Something that's always bothered me is the effectiveness of short engine 'warms' during pfls and descents.

I can see the point of regularly making certain that the engine isn't icing up and will provide power when required, but does a 4 second burst of power really keep the engine significantly warmer than doing nothing at all? Or perhaps descending with half an inch of throttle (rather than idle) and some sideslip?
