wrote: My Warrior book says 63 knots, but who's counting? Why not full flaps???? I have a zillion hours instructing in Cherokees/Warriors and I can't remember ever teaching a student to use two notches for landing. The only time to use two notches is (a) in strong cross winds or (b) in squirrelly high winds. I used full flaps regardless. It's what I was taught and it always worked well. OTOH that approach may not be for everyone...At that time the instructors here used the same as the FAA at the time.."If yah got 'em, use 'em". Roger Halstead (K8RI EN73 & ARRL Life Member) www.rogerhalstead.com N833R World's oldest Debonair? (S# CD-2) While it's not necessary, two notches give you a flatter, slightly faster approach that lets you "bust through" the cross wind or wind shear a bit better than the steeper, slower full-flaps approach...
