Carb Heat Demystified: Understanding the mechanics and the dangers

Season 3, Episode 2
One of the oldest debates in aviation, and something that's received so many comments on my channel that I have a copy-pasted answer... Everyone seems to have different rules about when to use carb heat, but the answer might not be so simple. Find out what exactly happens when you engage carb heat, and what that means for your engine. As always, I am only a pilot sharing my thoughts on the industry. Only a licensed flight instructor can provide advice on aircraft operation, so befriend one as quickly as you can!
Hey, did you guys know that the FAA actually certifies flight instructors to tell you everything that I try to convey in these videos? You should definitely talk to one of them instead of trusting some video you found on the internet, because who am I to tell you how to fly? I'm just a pilot sharing my experiences with the world, and these videos are not meant to be instructional or advisory in any respect.
