Carb Heat: Carb heat is used to prevent build up of ice on the carburetor, this can stall the engines. You will need to monitor the temps of the carbs in flight and may have to turn on carb heat when flying at high altitudes. I would recommend using carb heat where available on landings and takes off as the pressure difference may cause a build up of ice. Not all planes have the need for carb heat, the superchargers on most fighters heat the incoming air enough for no need for carb heat.
