During a recent solo qualifying cross country (I'm a student pilot) I managed to forget to reset the carb left to cold after a FREDA check and didn't notice this for what must have been several minutes. I made the same mistake on several other occasions during the trip, again after FREDA checks and after descents.
The obvious remedy is to REMEMBER THE BLOODY CARB HEAT FOOL, which I seem to be getting better at.
But I wanted to know what the likely damage could be if the carb heat was left on for a prolonged period, and whether any of you have experienced such damage?
