That observation is in conflict with my experience. Everytime I've
gotten carb ice in the pattern has been on a clear day.

But not a clear dry one.

Well ok. Dry in the sense of visible moisture; yes, no visible
moisture. However, we know that humidy is the key to carb ice so there
had to be some humidy. But what type of solution is that? You teach
students to subtract the dew point from the temp in order to decide
when to turn off carb heat. That just sounds complicated for little
gain.


You're an idiot, Maxie.



Go play wiht your guns.
