Default flap deployment

Doug, I had edited my original post, and should have mentioned that the
kruegers get retracted when changing from flaps 5 to flaps 2.

At flaps 2, L.E. Flaps 2,3,6 and 7 are extended, and at 0 flaps, these get
retracted also.

Note: When 2 degrees of flaps are used, half of the slats get retracted

,
with the remaining slats (and the Krueger flaps) retracted with a 0 Flap
setting


You sure about the Krueger flaps? My library is packed away for remodeling
preventing me from looking it up, but I'm sure only slats 3 &4 are

extended
at flaps2, not the Kruegers.
