NOTE: Carburetor heat should be used as deemed necessary by the pilot to avoid carburetor ice formation!

Carburetor Heat should be used anytime carbure-tor icing is suspected or anytime the potential for

carburetor ice is present.• Carburetor heat will be ON for any descent

and may be turned OFF upon leveling-off.• Carburetor heat will be turned ON during the

Downwind and turned OFF with flap application on Base.

• Carburetor heat will be turned OFF 200 feet above MDA or DH on an instrument approach and then used as necessary after arriving at MDA or DH.

FUel pUMp sop

Fuel Pump should be off when above 500’ AGL unless deemed necessary for the safety of flight. Verify Fuel pressure prior to turning off the fuel
