injure you (hard or sharp pointy things under the surface, predators,
and so on) and that it wasn't one degree above freezing. Why would we
take off into air about which we know nothing?


An awareness of carb ice conditions is one thing; but you are
advocating teaching two different landing techniques as a result. To
me that is too complex for students and unnecessary. Just keep it
simple; use the same approach technique regardless of carb icing
conditions.
