... That only explains why one might prefer 40degrees over 30degrees of flaps. There is still lift generated at both those settings. Who said the planes in question are limited to 40 or 30 degrees of flap extension? This is why, on some small airplanes, the official short-field landing procedure involves raising flaps on rollout. Small airplanes don't have flaps that can be extended far enough to dramatically increase drag. If they did, you'd probably find manuals that recommend extending the flaps further, rather than retracting them all the way (and few manuals actually recommend doing that, as far as I know). Pete |
