I've corrected it, thanks. One instructor told me once, "Just push all the knobs in!" Yup, that’s ILS 23 of course. I’ve corrected it, thanks.

As I reminder to myself, I looked up what the FAA said about carb ice: "In general, carburetor ice will form in temperatures between 32-50°F when the relative humidity is 50% or more. If visible moisture is present, it will form at temperatures between 15-32°F." Funny, when I did my instrument proficiency check last week, I left the carb heat on on a go-around, too. I gotta remember that as part of the go-around procedures. Of course, you meant ILS 23.
