ASW-20 flaps setting VS speed
Hi,
I was reading the Johnson's ASW-20 flight evaluation. He says the -6 degrees flap setting is useless and that 0 degree is better up to 76kts, where the -9 degrees should then be selected. Johnson also says something about the possible -4 degrees flaps setting that might be more useful than the -6. - Do you guys feel that the -6 setting is useless? - Have you drilled a new -4 flap position to replace the -6 and if so, does it seem to work great? Thx |

As stated by Andreas, the force on the flap handle will tell you what
setting is appropriate for any given condition of airspeed and load factor. I have noticed that an intermediate setting between 1 (-9 deg) and 2 (-6 degrees) is more often preferred by my ship at intermediate speeds than position #2. This phenomena has been observed by several other high time 20 pilots as well. |
