So you are going to get carby ice between 200' and the ground after not having it at 200' due carby heat on?

I think the turning off the carby heat at 200' is to cater for a possible go around and also so the engine does not injest dust from the dirt strip you are landing on, (perhaps not a problem in green countries like Canada), most carby heat systems bypass the air filters.
