That is why the short final check is so important.
At about 200ft on short final, you and the airplane have to be configured and stabilised for a landing, or a Go-Round.
The only difference between them being a SINGLE THROTTLE increase without having to think about anything else.
Below 200 ft ?
One hand glued on stick/yoke.
Second hand glued on Throttle.
And don't you dare touch anything else till standstill, or a positive and confirmed climb out.
I don't get it. If you can move the carb heat control to cold at 200 feet on very short final while flying the aircraft to the touchdown point, why can't you select cold after achieving a
a positive and confirmed climb out
Something that is going to happen pretty early in the go around sequence.
If you do select cold at 200 feet what happens if the engine starts to develop ice and you need to make a late go around with power now reduced due to carb ice forming ?
