Having recently completed a rating on a C172RG I was wondering why in the aircraft manual the instructions for a shortfield takeoff are 10degress flap setting unless at max. all up weight in which case no flap at all should be used.
Seems unusual to me why this may be the case?
I thought prehaps it has something to do with the a/c centre of pressure and/or gravity, or prehaps due to (minor) difficulties catching the sink when retracting the flap at all up weight.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. :confused: :confused:
