You land with the carb heat ON?


My Cessna provided pilot's operating handbook checklist for a 1959
C-172 reads as follows:

J. BEFORE LANDING.
(1) Set fuel selector to "Both".
(2) Recheck mixture "Full Rich" (full in).
(3) Apply carburetor heat before closing throttle.

Of course this was before the FAA seatbelt regulation which added
to later models a "Seatbelts ON" item.

A commercially available C-172 N model checklist from AVTECH PILOT
PRODUCTS reads as follows:

BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST
Seats/Seatbelts............Secure
Fuel Selector..............Fullest Tank/Both
Carburetor Heat............ON
Mixture....................Rich/As Required

I've spent about six years landing with the carb heat ON.
