I have a high school classmate that got real dead when he had carb ice
in a Cherokee and then tried to stretch the glide... I have had carb
ice in Cubs, T-Crafts, Aeroncas, Cherokees, SkyHawks, Skylanes,
Apaches, and a bunch I don't remember right at the moment (al what's
hiz names disease)... As far as I'm concerned the carb heat is on
anytime the throttle comes back... Never saw a crash from using carb
heat...

I understand. It can be difficult to detect incipient carb heat
issues at low power near the ground in time to apply it.

So, Gleim is the one?

Wally may have other ideas, but I recommend Gleim for test
preparation. Their red books present only the information covered on
the tests, but with sufficient detail to assure complete
understanding. I've no experience with their complete courses, but if
the red books are any indication, they should be clearly written and
logically present the information.

He needs to get his ASEL, then we will send him for 'legal' instruction
in the Apache... My intent was to get him to the point that he can handle
the airplane reasonably well and then turn him over to a CFI, not for me
to prepare him for the check ride...

According to:

it seems that Dennis would have had to be a (certificated?) student
pilot to log the time you instructed him. I hadn't realized that.
