Is it possible to land without using the flaps at all? Just a

I know this will sound like a shocker but I'd appreciate a definitive
NO, so that at least one doubt is bedded


Sorry, but the answer is an easy "yes"...

In fact, every student practices no-flap landings as part of basic flight
training.
