I remain unconvinced abut the wisdom of ALWAYS applying carb heat on
takeoff and in the landing pattern, no matter what the prevailing
conditions of dew point and ambient temperature are. Sure, (500 hr)
flight instructors insist on this procedure, but few seem to be
conversant in "why". My concern is Coupers with low hp 415-Cs loaded to
max gw on takeoff.(aren't they all ?)....wouldn't application of full
carb heat and resulting reduced rpm make their takeoffs and landing
performance even more marginal? Again, I don't profess to be smart in
these discussions, just curious. Thank you.

Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] Check before flight.
Before flying to a far off airport I check RNAV but I also check Google
Earth. (find it on Google.com) It is a download that installs a viewer on
your
computer. It is safe however.
This clever program pulls up satellite pictures and zooms in to take a
look
at almost every bit of the planet. The pictures are dated so some recent
changes may have happened, but it does let me get a peek at the
surrounding
areas, topography, what to look for when I get close, what to look at on
the way,
etc.
It even lets me see my old car parked in my driveway, and I sold it last
year!
Works best with high speed internet, You can do a virtual flight there in
3D
too.

Checking Atlantic at Airnav.
Just going by the numbers. Out of 18 comments, 14
(78%) are negative, 2
(11%) are positive, and 2 (11%) are neutral.
http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSDF/ATLANTIC#c
I check Airnav before I fly to a new airport.
Just from the comments posted at Airnav, without
judging the details, If I
was flying there and had a choice, I would avoid
this airport!
Just IMHO

Oh no!!!
Please do not let the FAA get a hold of this information, or they may
issue an
AD to do a Colonoscopy on all ERCOUPES older than 50!!!

To all:
For everyones information we did a visual inspection of the spar and
center
section when our Ercoupe 415C was restored. The method used was a "Video
Sigmoid-o-scope" manufactured by Welch Allyn, Inc. The comany makes very
high teck inspection equipment for hospitals and industry. I talked to
them
today and they welcome calls about the equipment. Call them at the
following:
Welch Allyn, Inc.
Skaneateles, New York
(315) 685-4560
For you who haven't had a colonoscopy and I suggest everyone has one
around
age 50 it is very effective when used to inspect the colon and also for
down
the throat into the small intestine. The doctor can see everything on a
video screen as we could see everything on the spar and center section.
The
A.I. that did the inspection put it into the log book as completed. Also
he
found nothing out of the ordinary which is good to know. The scan is so
accurate that you can see every detail including scratches, etc. I
watched
him do it and was amazed how he could maneuver the probe around things.
Just
the same as the doctor does when he goes in you know where and thrugh the
intestines.
I have had a colonoscopy every 5 years for the past 20 years and on two
occasions they found poloyps. They were benign but are considered
pre-cancerous if not removed. If the Video Sigmoid-o-scope is good
enough
for my insides it is good enough for our Ercoupe inspection.
The machine is hard to get but I was told by the company that they also
build
an industrial version of the unit. If you are interested call them:
Hope this information help!

I also use google earth for virtual fly overs my chosen route and for
getting waypoints. Pretty darn useful and cool!

Interesting discussion on carb heat. I don't know if anyone has
mentioned it, but the air when on carb heat is unfiltered. Therefore,
ground operation should be limited.
I just had a Wings lesson in the pattern with an experienced "old
timer" and he kind of told me the opposite. He said that on a touch
and go if you pushed in the carb head before you gave full throttle on
a check ride, you'd be busted on the premise that the linkages could
screw up and you might not get your full throttle. His rational for
picking up FOD is that operations are blowing it off the runway anyway,
so no sweat. I am not reiterating this as an advocate, but as a
student who got this info from a very experienced CFII for $50. All I
can suggest is ask about. I think there was another instance where he
told me not to cut carb heat has I had been formerly instructed - it
all came as a bit of a shock to me - same reason as you cite.

Yeah, carb heat = no filter

This should really be on the Tech site. Anyway, I was taught to push
the throttle all the way in on a touch and go and then push the carb
heat in a second or so later. Works for me.
