Am I correct in thinking that this was movie idiocy -- they spent all their
budget on Samuel L. Jackson and got a third-rate aviation consultant if they
got one at all -- or do Learjet pilots really use "percentage" of flaps

No. We speak in degrees. Full flaps on a Learjet (the 20- and
30-series, anyway - I can't speak for the 40, 45, 55, or 60) is 40
