Complex endorsement: what is so special about flaps?
I read the the complex endorsement involves being instructed in
retractable gear, flaps and constant speed prop. I'm learning to fly in a C172, which has flaps, so it seems unusual to me that flaps are specified in the complex rating given that I have been using them since day one. The only reasons I can guess that this is pointed out are that A: people learn to fly in planes without flaps or B: flaps are "one more thing to worry about" and so the definition includes all three to make sure the pilot can handle multiple things to worry about in the small amount of time one has to land a plane. I'm leaning toward B but thought I'd ask here. |
