Actually, no we do not all worry about shock cooling. Neither do we all
worry about shock heating. Many highly respected pilots and mechanics
believe that shock cooling and shock heating are myths, at least for
modern
aircraft engines.

First - we do not fly behind modern aircraft engines, at least in
trainers. Those engines are warmed-over 1950's (at best) technology.

Second, maybe those who are not worried about it should be. I know a
Bonanza pilot who didn't worry about it. He would routinely cut the
power way back for a rapid descent. I attempted to get him to stop,
but he just wasn't worried about it. Then he lost a jug on takeoff.
He's more careful now.

How does that relate to shock cooling the engine?
