Default flaps again

Flaps and their use are VERY aircraft specific. In some airplanes a POH
might define a no flap landing as an emergency.


I recall a Usenet post from a crew member in a Buff that, while over
Illinois, lost hydraulics for both flaps and brakes. Ooops.

They got a refill and made it to Edwards lake bed before dark.
They coasted a long time before stopping...
