If I was to take the carb heat off any sooner
After carb heat OFF late downwind I look for my turning point.
LOOKOUT
Turn base
carb heat on
power idle
hold altitude to bleed speed
flaps set 1 stage
trim back on wheel 3 times for 70-75 knots
1500rpm
LOOKOUT
Turn final.
Stage 2 flap as required.
Carb heat OFF at 300-500ft
Everyone's got a different way of doing things.

The title mnemonic hails from an age when brakes were used on take off and landing in crosswinds, when brakes were set in the air (the Chipmunk is probably the best example). Brakes off was in the after take off checklist. The brakes in the landing checklist should refer to 'Brakes as required', i.e. off or set and/or pressure checked.

Mine goes like:
B - Brakes
U - Undercarriage
M - Mixture
P - Prop (full fine)
F - Fuel supply & pump
F - Flaps (e.g. 1 stage on a PA-28)
E - Engine Ts & Ps
L - Landing light
C - Carb heat check (if fitted)
H - Hatches and harnesses
Then on finals, it's:
F - Flaps (landing config)
A - Altimeter check
C - Carb heat (check OFF)
Cheers
