The application of the rule has required a positive detent
to limit the flap position.

| Why do you say "positive stop"? I think you're talking
about:
|
| 23.1511 Flap extended speed.
|
| (a) The flap extended speed VFE must be established so
that it is
|
| (1) Not less than the minimum value of VF allowed in
23.345(b); and
|
| (2) Not more than VF established under 23.345(a), (c), and
(d).
|
| (b) Additional combinations of flap setting, airspeed, and
engine power
| may be established if the structure has been proven for
the corresponding
| design conditions.
|
| I don't see anything there that mandates a "positive
stop".
