Flaps on take-off and landing
Peter Duniho writes:
I lower the flaps for the preflight inspection so that I can properly inspect the flap mechanisms, but then retract them after engine start and before taxiing. Doesn't flap movement require engine power? IMHO, since you're not actually flying an airplane, I wouldn't worry about it. Put the flaps down whenever you want. The idea is to try to approach real life. Additionally, many things are simulated. If adjusting flaps has a bad effect in real life, there's a good chance that it has a bad effect in simulation as well. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
