I was taught to lift the flaps immediately upon touch down on soft field
landings. My instructors stated getting more weight on the brakes as soon as possible, would facilitate a quicker stop than leaving the flaps down for drag, and loosing some braking power to the extra lift. However, during my last BFR, the instructor corrected me very sharply. He insisted you get more drag from the flaps by leaving them down until you slowed to taxi speed, than the benefit of more weight on the brakes. What is the general consensus of the group? Flaps up or down, after touchdown on a soft field landing? |
