Today my friend asked one question about the flap setting on the B737-NG.
" Why there is a Flap 2 setting ? we don`t use it quite often. We use flap 1 and 5 for takeoff, 30 or 40 for app, 15 or 1 for missed app."
The thoughts came through my brain were :
a/ Boeing has the flap 2 takeoff performance, just my company doesn`t use that.
b/ it can reduce the app speed by 10kts compare to flap 1.
And I think it must has somehting to do with the abnormal situation, but I don`t konw it.
Can someone shed some light on me?
Thanks!!:ok::ok::ok:
