Pure madness! So everytime I pull the Carb Heat on and I have a momentary power loss its a snag?
This is 100% a newbie Millenial who needs to be told he is wrong.

As of late (last few years) noticed there had been a number of fatalities from this, with some that are still not sure exactly. There have also been those not broadcasted where pilot and pax have survived. The next time the throttle plate snags with some carb ice maybe it’s best to be open about it and let everyone at the club know so as not to leave the less experienced (and newbies) so dangerously in the dark about how this ice works.

He didn't pull the carb heat though. I'd 100% snag a power loss and pray that the previous renter would do the same. There needs to be a record in case of a worsening condition. This isn't like when you fly the same Beaver all summer. These airplanes get beat on like, well, a rental.
