Carb Heat ~ Learning to Fly for Beginners in X Plane 11 Part 15 

Glad to hear that, keep up the good work your almost done :-) Blessings, skip

Hi Roland, Many thanks and thanks for watching hope the videos are helping you down there :-) Blessings back to you, skip

Hi Spectrum Geeks, Glad you like the videos and they are helping! Good luck on your PPL keep me posted on your progress :-) By the way, if you fly with X Plane 11 and are interested, X-Hanger has given me the rights to their Cessna 172N for X Plane 11, the airplane I use in most of my videos, and they have allowed me to give it away to anyone who would like to use it for following along in my videos. You can learn how to download it by watching the video in the link below: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mmOxFBkgEBE.html Blessings, skip

Thanks werecow68 glad you like the series. I'm working on the next few videos which will be a cross country flight covering a lot of whats been discussed and putting it to use. Thanks for watching. Blessings, skip

Thanks Farhat Guitar, Glad you liked it hope it helped and thanks for watching. Blessings, skip

Hi saen0r, Thanks glad you liked it :-) Yes use Carb Heat every time you land. It's not the temperature outside that's the issue. It's a bit complicated but a simple reason is there is a pressure temperature relationship that takes place "inside" the carburetor and under certain conditions ice may form inside the carb, it doesn't need to be a really cold day. There's more to this than I can explain here it's just a good idea to always use carb heat when landing. I don't have any idea how long it would take to remove the ice, that would depend on how much ice has formed. Probably the first indications of ice would be the engine not performing correctly, running bad enough for you to notice something is wrong and that could be a lot of ice, I don't know. I don't think it would to too long to remove the ice once you turned on carb heat since you are dumping hot air from over the exhaust manifold into the carburetor. However, if you are landing and need to go around for a missed approach and you find you don't have the power due to ice your in trouble and the engine might even run even worse with no power while melted ice goes into the engine! Hope this helps and thanks for watching :-) Blessings, skip

@@WEHVideos Thank you for clearing that up, I'll make a habit out of using carb heat during landing and continue watching your videos of course!

Looking Good :-)

Hi pgreenx, I can't think of one. The problem is you won't know if there's ice forming in the carburetor until the engine starts to run rough and that's too late if you are landing and you have to abort needing full power, don't take a chance use full carb heat. :-) Blessings, skip

Hi tinytim2504, Yes and as far as I can tell this is the only one like this. You can get it here: www.x-hangar.com/store/general-aviation/cessna-172n.html Note that I made a lot of changes in my copy in X Plane Plane Maker and PhotoShop so if you get this the instrument panel won't look like mine. I really like X Hanger airplanes because you can till make modifications to the 2D panel in Plane Maker. Most newer airplanes for XP don't use the 2D panel so you can't make changes. I have several videos on making changes if you decide to go that route. Thanks for watching, hope it helped Blessings, skip

@@WEHVideos Ah that's pretty cool, I'd love to be able to tweak the panel a bit to lay it out more like the skyhawks I'm training in. I was going to check this one out, and the link worked yesterday when I first saw it, but it looks like it's not there anymore.. Do you know if maybe they took it down? Thanks for your reply!

Your right! :-( I'm hoping it's only for a while maybe there's a bug or something they just ungraded it a few months ago. I'm going to contact them to find out and you could do the same. It doesn't make sense to discontinue this airplane when they just upgraded it. Blessings, skip

Hi again, I just tried to upgrade and got a notice it was updated yesterday 2/7/21 so check back later I'm pretty sure it will be back soon :-) Blessings, skip

@@WEHVideos Ah, sounds like that must be it. Thanks!
