DHamblin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 5. "RE: Carb Ice" 05-27-02, 01:21z  Dave Hamblin (formerly DaveH on old site!) "I've seen pilots make forced landings following a go-around; the engine quit as power was applied, or shortly thereafter, and the aircraft was forced to land. Yup, thats the scenerio the one pilot (also with a 150) had happen! My CFI/friend tolerates my "over use" of carb heat. You are right, the POH (for a 1968 C150) doesn't have a whole lot of info, just a few recommendations. On a touch and go and/or go around I can (at least on the 150) push the carb heat off with my thumb as I push in the throttle, so the heat is coming off as the power is coming up. Due to my "paranoia" I typically throttle up during long descents and practice engine failures just to make sure I still have an engine. We have an EGT but not a carb air temperature gage on it. Thanks for your thoughts and experiences!! Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
