xrs135 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 For normal takeoffs and landings I use the "takeoff" flaps setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Avalle Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 As I mentioned before the wow effect is really nice. Nice music and nice views. I will try the same configuration in my next flight. On the flaps I see the advantage of using take off flaps o take off, but on landing why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try the same configuration in my next flight. On the flaps I see the advantage of using take off flaps o take off, but on landing why? Simply personal preference. The added lift lowers the stall speed a bit, and unlike full flaps there isn't as much drag in the flare. As a result, the bottom doesn't fall out as quickly in the flare at idle power, and I can always seem to have a nice, soft touch down. I still use full flaps for short field landings for the slightly slower approach speeds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
