Carburetor heat
Asked by: flightbug 7968 views Commercial Pilot, Flight Instructor, General Aviation, Instrument Rating, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
There is an instructor in my school, whose been instructing for over 4 years now. He told me that Cessna's require the use of carb heat on the landing checklist for insurance purposes only and not for carburetor icing. He also said we fly in Texas, where it is usually very hot, and very little moisture is present. My questions is,"Is the statement about the insurance true or do we really use it for carb ice?
